I want to split the file and get multiple files like
A1980JE39300007.txt and A1980KK18700010.txt, where each file will
contain column2, 3 and 4.
Sorry for being completely off-topic here, but awk has a very convenient
feature to deal with this. Simply use:
awk '{ print $2,$3,$4 > $1".txt"; }' /path/to/your/file
