Thank you Don and RudiC for your help/advice. Appreciate your time.
I was able to run both the code suggested by RudiC using nawk and /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.

The split is working fine. But getting one small issue.The files are getting generated fine from 1 to 10. But after 10 the number starts appending to itself. Please see below:

Code:
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__1.txt
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__2.txt

…… and so on upto 10
Code:
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__10.txt

After 10. The number starts appending to 10.
Code:
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__10_11.txt
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__10_11_12.txt
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__10_11_12_13.txt
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__10_11_12_13_14.txt


Would it be possible to get the 11th file as:
Code:
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__11.txt
MasterFile-HP-import-20151006__12.txt

and so on....

Thanks again

UUENCODE(5)							File Formats Manual						       UUENCODE(5)

NAME
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file DESCRIPTION
Files output by uuencode(1C) consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. Uudecode(1C) will ignore any lines preceding the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header. The header line is distinguished by having the first 6 characters "begin ". The word begin is followed by a mode (in octal), and a string which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line. The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters long (including the trailing newline). These consist of a character count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a newline. The character count is a single printing character, and represents an inte- ger, the number of bytes the rest of the line represents. Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can be determined by sub- tracting the character space (octal 40) from the character. Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters printing. The last line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on the last line. Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a count of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space. The trailer line consists of "end" on a line by itself. SEE ALSO
