I need to create 3 files out of this.
Always the first line should go to Hfile.dat
Always the last line should go to Tfile.dat
All the remaining lines should go to Dfile.dat

Please help me in achieving this in ksh.

I can put the first line and last line using

head -1

and

tail -1

commands, but i am not sure how to get the remaining lines.

Try

tail -n+2 file.dat | tac | tail -n+2 | tac

With sed:

sed -e '1w Hfile.dat' -e '$w Tfile.dat' -e '1d; $d' file.dat > Dfile.dat
