If the file is too large I am getting error as temp file too large. In this case what should I do?

find a filesystem with free space (/fs for example) to use for temp file and modify the file with sed:
Code:
sed '80000,$ s/$/|N/' infile > /fs/temp
mv /fs/temp outfile

Another solution :
Code:
sed ''80000,$ s/$/|N/' inputfile1 inputfile2 > resultfile
