Subject:      Creating a random sample from a flat file
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hi All,
 Happy Friday.

Does someone know how to create a random sample from a
flat file,
like reading the file and  simultaneously outputting a
random sample .
I have never done it ,but I have to do it now because
the files from which I want to create the random
samples are in millions and I don't want to load them
to a dataset and then do the process again.

Any insights??????


Mona
