Re: Splitting a big file into smaller files

Hi Darryl,

Using the DELETE command doesn't necessarily mean the system will do a FAST
DELETE, a.k.a. RGZPFM. It might just delete all the records. Resetting
the RRN will then depend on whether you have REUSE DELETED RECORDS. If you
DSPFD on the table, what does it show for REUSE DELETED RECORDS and TOTAL
DELETED RECORDS?

Subject: Splitting a big file into smaller files

I am splitting large files of 400,000 plus records into files of 10,000

each.

I am using SQL to create the records using the create table command. I

split the file using

FROM RRN(A) between 1 and 10,000

FROM RRN(A) between 10,001 and 20,000

FROM RRN(A) between 20,001 and 30,000

.



Problem:

Why would the system not copy exactly 10,000 records. I have several

files that have a few records less than the 10,000 I should have in each
file.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

If you have, what is the reason?



This is a V5R4 system.



TIA
