my suggestions:

provide a little more detail about the file - such as how to identify the header and trailer
this is application programming, are you looking for a SORT solution or a programming solution?
if you are looking for a SORT solution, post the question in the SORT/Utilities Forum
your requirements are confusing to me. you have an input file and apparently two output files, one you call Proper and the other Discard.
- what identifies records destined to the Proper file
- which records should go to the Discard file?

Hi,
The header and trailer are identified by aaaa, the records identified between the aaa(Header and trailer) are proper files and the records which are not having trailer (aaaa) instead as (bbbb) they are identified as discard file.

we have towrite in application programming

kris07,

This is one of the simplest program you can ever get. You should be able to write this without any problem. I Hate to spoon feed you but here it is. Hopefully you learn something out of it.
