Hi All,
Is that possible to separate even numbers into one file and odd numbers into another file using DFSORT
Example:
my input file is
102
125
045
224
155
176
my output files should be
ODD output file
125
045
155
EVEN output file
102
224
176
Please can anyone help on this.

You got 2 solutions yesterday on another forum and, today, a clarification from a DFSort developer as to why one was better than the other. Why are you posting again today here? That is not very polite and is, essentially, against the rules.

Suggest you re-read the other answers.
IIRC, there was an explanation of how to do what you want . . .

I think this is not a cross-posting, but a co-incidence.
Code: Select all
OUTFIL FNAMES=EVEN,INCLUDE=(3,1,BI,EQ,B'.......0')
OUTFIL FNAMES=ODD,SAVE
This is looking at the right-most bit of the right-most byte of your number. If that bit is zero, your number is even. Otherwise it is odd (as bits can only be zero or one).
