I am executing a JCL (contains one step - ICETOOL) and it creates two PS files. when i viewed the two output PS files, file 1 is having NUMBER ON STD in its profile and file 2 is having NUM OFF in its profile.
I want file 1 to also have NUM OFF. I tried NUM OFF and PROF LOCK in file 1. when it's created again through JCL, file 1 is again having NUMBER ON STD.

Anytime ISPF sees valid, sequential numbers in the last 8 bytes of a file it turns NUM ON by default. You can only prevent it by not having numbers there (as you discovered). LOCK won't stop it.
