I want to do FTP an Huge XML file to mainframe server using AIX server

Since my file size is huge, i want to split the XML file based on a delimiter , the record delimiter should be set after every 27000 bytes of data
and then do the ftp
This is done becos the data send to the mainframe must have records no longer than 27000 bytes; we CANNOT convert it on the mainframe

i need to read the XML file and i need to put the record delimiter after 27000 bytes and need to start a new record which has 27000 bytes

see below example

record 1:123....................27000|

record 2:123....................27000|

record 3 and so on

Please share the code snippet for the above example

Thanks!

Please show an example of the input you have and the output you want. We'll need to know what your XML looks like and what this delimiter is.
