You can code the JCL in a number of different ways but these are the logical steps.
1) Use SORT to sort the flat file by key
2) Use IDCAMS to define the new KSDS cluster
3) Load sorted file (#1) into VSAM file (#2).
regards,

a sample code is as follows-
//REPRO EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSABOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//IN01 DD DSN=(Input flat file),DISP=SHR
//OUT01 DD DSN=(Output VSAM file name),DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT01) REPLACE
/*
if output VSAM file is not defined then you need to define it firsh |
