Code:
sed -i 's/|/\n/g' file_name

using this we can achieve this.

Consider that the file_name file will contain the content as
Code:
1;20100403;400|2;20100403;4|3;20290903;400|4;20290903;0|5;20290903;0|9;20100304;0|10;20100304;0|11;2 0100402;0|18;20100304;0

Now the file will contain the lines as
Code:
1;20100403;400
2;20100403;4
3;20290903;400
4;20290903;0
5;20290903;0
9;20100304;0
10;20100304;0
11;2 0100402;0
18;20100304;0
