Hello bhalchandra and welcome to the forums,

To do what you want, you can STRING the data values separated by some delimiter (comma or tab or . . .) into an output field and write that output. This example uses the tab character (x'05'):
      STRING IDX               X'05'   
             RCD-TYPE          X'05'   
             DAT-TYPE-ALPHA    X'05'   
             DTL-CNT           X'05'   
             PLAN-NAME         X'05'   
             HDR-DATE          X'05'   
             PROV-DISPRO       X'05'   DELIMITED BY ''   
        INTO MY-OUT-REC.                             
  WRITE MY-OUT-REC.                             
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

It worked but i am not able to get all data in one file.

Its cuts to 65000 and can export more than 65000 even in CSV...

Do anyone knows why i am only getting 65000 records in my output file??

Hello,

What do you mean by "export"? The process should read some input, STRING the desired output fields with delimiters between them, and WRITE a qsam record. I'm not clear about where export comes into the picture.

I have used this approach to create download ("export") files with many million records.

It may help if you post the relevant part of your code.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.
