Answer / xxx

Since I assume this is a COBOL question (and not JCL), I have tried below code.
-------------------------------------------------------

OPEN INPUT DASA
OPEN OUTPUT DASB DASC

INITIALIZE WS-NUM.
MOVE 'N' TO WS-EOF-SW.
READ DASA INTO WS-NUM
AT END MOVE 'Y' TO WS-EOF-SW
END-READ

PERFORM UNTIL WS-EOF-SW = 'Y'
DIVIDE WS-NUM BY 2 GIVING WS-Q REMAINDER WS-R
IF WS-R = 1
WRITE DASB-RCD FROM WS-NUM
ELSE
WRITE DASC-RCD FROM WS-NUM
END-IF
READ DASA INTO WS-NUM
AT END MOVE 'Y' TO WS-EOF-SW
END-READ
END-PERFORM


CLOSE DASA DASB DASC

STOP RUN
.

Answer / harsha

For ODD records
//JOBNAME
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUT DSN,DISP=SHR
//OUT1 DD DSN=OUTPUT DSN1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),UNIT=SYSDA
//OUT2 DD DSN=OUTPUT DSN2,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),UNIT=SYSDA
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,STARTREC=1,SAMPLE=2
/*
//

For EVEN records
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,STARTREC=2,SAMPLE=2
