Hi,
Is it possbile to output records in to different files base on certain condition(s) in SAS?
I have a large file. I need to split that in to multiple output file (A maximum number of 36 files) using SAS (I know the same can be achived by FILE-AID, but we need to do some more processing before outputing, which can be done by SAS).

Jimmy,
I am not expert in SAS, but if the processing is simpler it can be done in sort also. Post a sample input and desired output with DCB parameters of input and output files.

Kolusu,
I am attaching a sample input data. Infact it is a JCL generated by a program and now i need to split this JCL based on the delimiters '//EETU' and '//*END'
we managed to split this in to different files by using FILEAID. But the CTS (Our System guys & system operations) don't want a single comment line in the JCL as it is against their standards. so If I use FILEAID, i can't find a way to remove '//*END ' from the splited jcls.
There are hundreds of lines in between '//EETU' and '//*END'. I just pasted only few lines for giving you a feel.
The input and output records are of 80 char format...
the Maximum occurances of //*END is 36. That means a max of 36 output files will be created.
I just came to know that we can do this easily in REXX. but i have no idea how to code a REXX program. Will it be going to be a long code? will take whole lot of time to code a REXX program to do this??
Thanks
Jimmy

So you don't want any thing which starts with a //* ? Do you need to eliminate //*AUTOBEEP also?
We use File-aid to remove the comment lines. Sort also can be used to split the files.
Thanks

Kolusu,
They just dont like the '//*END' lines only. They said they will be happy as long as that lines are not in the jcls. So is there any option in FILE AID to do a split along with omiting these lines?
