Try FCOPY purge New1, new2, new3 etc. fcopy from = old;to=new1;subset=0,100000;new fcopy from = old;to=new2;subset=1000000,1000000;new fcopy from = old;to=new3;subset=2000000,1000000;new etc... until eof reached.... You could also try zipping the file on the HP first ! >>> "Girard, Frank" <[log in to unmask]> 13/09/00 14:37:43 >>> I have a monthly extract file that gets created, approx. 200 megs worth of data. The service I am ftp'ing to, can only handle files of 50 Meg or smaller. Is there a utility on the HP, or available for the HP, that can take the file and split it into smaller chunks for easier handling? Thanks in advance Frank Girard J. Baker Inc. [log in to unmask]
