eg:

Output file consist of 400 data then would like to divide it into 50 data per pages.

Thanks for any help

If you are trying to insert a pagebreak every 50 lines, that's not too hard to do in perl:
Code:
$maxlines=50;
$linenum=0;
while (<STDIN>) {
  $linenum++;
  if ($linenum > $maxlines) {
    $linenum=0;
    print "^L";
  }
  print "$_";
}

(Untested)
You'll need to put an actual page break in there where it has ^L (ie don't copy-paste the ^ and the L characters, use a single control-L character).

Should do the job.

You can also do it using perl's rather nice 'format' option Perl format Primer (1/2)

control-L character is

ctrl+vl
