  Overview: 
  FTWES is a SAP transaction code used to split data extracts into multiple files. It is used to divide large data extracts into smaller, more manageable files. This allows for easier manipulation and analysis of the data. 
  
  Functionality: 
  FTWES is used to split large data extracts into multiple files. It can be used to divide a single extract into multiple files based on certain criteria, such as size or content. This allows for easier manipulation and analysis of the data. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Access the FTWES transaction code in SAP. 
  2. Enter the name of the extract you wish to split. 
  3. Select the criteria for splitting the extract (e.g., size or content). 
  4. Enter the number of files you wish to create from the extract. 
  5. Click “Execute” to begin splitting the extract into multiple files. 
  6. Once complete, the new files will be saved in the same directory as the original extract file. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that you back up your original extract file before using FTWES to split it into multiple files. This will ensure that you have a copy of your original data in case something goes wrong during the splitting process. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your criteria for splitting the extract are appropriate for your needs, as this will affect how the data is divided into multiple files.
