Hmmm, strqsh:

  split: 001-3019 usage: split [-b byte_count[k|m]] [-l line_count] 
[file [prefix]]

Smells like a bug to me. Have you called your service rep to see if 
there's a PTF available?

I don't mean to impugn your programming abilities, but in general 
the best way to do that is to write as little of your own code as 
possible and take advantage of the code exercised by countless 
others. (Mind you, the fact that you're getting an error on the copy 
command diminishes the force of this argument! ;-)
