title: Split large SAS dataset into smaller datasets
body: <p>I need some assistance with splitting a large SAS dataset into smaller datasets. </p>
  
  <p>Each month I'll have a dataset containing a few million records. This number will vary from month to month. I need to split this dataset into multiple smaller datasets containing 250,000 records each. For example, if I have 1,050,000 records in the original dataset then I need the end result to be 4 datasets containing 250,000 records and 1 dataset containing 50,000 records.</p>
  
  <p>From what I've been looking at it appears this will require using macros. Unfortunately I'm fairly new to SAS (unfamiliar with using macros) and don't have a lot of time to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
