How can we copy data from a pds which has 30 records to 3 pds all having equal 10 records?

Huh, I think that you need to explain in a lot more detail to be able to get any help here

You need to read up on file types - PDS (partitioned Data Set (a library)), PS (physical sequential (also known as a sequential or flat file)), VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) and others.

I think you mean you want to split a sequential file into multiple files - I suggest you google for DFSort Tricks and read the examples that specify how to do this.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

I think , you can use sort technique, with skiprec(skiprecord) and stopaft(stopafter) options.
Thanks.

Hello,

Sort will not help "splitting a pds". . .
How can we copy data from a pds which has 30 records to 3 pds all having equal 10 records?
A pds does not directly have records. . . A pds contains members that may contain records or be empty.

What exactly are you asking?
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Sorry It is from 1 PS to 3 PS and I will try with skiprec(skiprecord) and stopaft(stopafter) options. it should work.

I have to admit when I first read this I took it to mean one PDS member, which is roughly equivalent to a sequential data set to 3 PDS members, which are roughly equivalent to 3 sequential data sets.

One thing you do not want to do is try to create the 3 members into 1 data set in one step at the same time using JCL. This will not work! You want to do something like -
//A       EXEC ---
//INPUT    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=INPUT(MEMBER1)
//OUTPUT1  DD  DISP=(NEW,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(...)
//OUTPUT2  DD  DISP=(NEW,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(...)
//OUTPUT3  DD  DISP=(NEW,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(...)
//B       EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=*.A.OUTPUT1
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=OUTPUT(MEMBER1)
//C       EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=*.A.OUTPUT2
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=OUTPUT(MEMBER2)
//D       EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=*.A.OUTPUT3
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=OUTPUT(MEMBER3)
I suspect this is much less elegant than what you were thinking, but this skeleton will actually work!

Hello,

If you are splitting one sequential file (either a ps or a member of a pds) and you are creating 3 separate ps files and you want to use your sort product, you can do as you mention with skiprec and stopaft.
Hope this helps,

You can also use SPLIT or SPLITBY or SPLIT1R - see the section '5 Ways To Split a Dataset' in the aforementioned DFSort tricks.pdf
