Currently these are Sorted as SORT FIELDS=(3,23,CH,A,1,2,CH,A)
Basically i need to Sort these records based on record types, as when 01 or 03 then above sort should work and when 02 it should above sort plus 3 positions Highlighted.
To be more specific,
when first 2 positions = 01, 03 then sort as =(3,23,CH,A,1,2,CH,A)
when first 2 positions = 02 then sort as (3,23,CH,A,1,2,CH,A) & 3 positions.
Limitations:
1) Should be used only in Sort, can be easily done in program but client is not convinced.
2) we use SYNCSORT in out region.
am a beginner in SYNCSORT, so not aware of the advanced commands in Sort.
Please Advice me some Solution/Suggestion's for this specific requirement.
If i get you correctly, u want to sort a file on the basis of the contents of the file. What you can do is - Split the file into two on the basis of first two letter using SORT utility and then sort each files as per how you want it to be.

ashwinreddy,
For '02' records, the sort positions which you mentioned are not clear and even they overlap. The highlighted 3 characters in your sample data are already part of 3,23,CH. And you dont need to sort the first 2 positions here as it can have only one value viz. '02'
