Now I want to give following as input based on which sorting will be done-
052415456
052421925
052429561
These values are at a certain position in BH(header record).
Now I want to output that particular BH record along with the PT records associated with it just below it. Number of PT records can vary.
Also need to know how can I give
052415456
052421925
052429561 values as condition to sort. Can it be done through a sysin?

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for. You can set up your values as Symbols in a SYMNAMES data set as shown (assuming you have a reasonable maximum number of values, e.g. less than 1500) and use the Symbols in the INCLUDE operand. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.

Answer the following questions
What is the LRECL and RECFM of the master file.
What is the position and format of the key in the master file
What is the LRECL and RECFM of the lookup key file
What is the position and format of the key in this file?

key is at position 49-57 in master.
Lookup key file am going to create with these key values taken from somewhere else so as of now it will be FB/9(length of key value).
Pos will be 1-9. Nothing else will be there.[/code]

t5590ag,
Since you haven't yet created the lookup file, I suggest you create it as FB 400 so that we can concatenate it to the master file as is with following layout.
Have '$$' in pos 1-2 and the key in pos 49 for 9 bytes and rest spaces
Once you create that dataset , concatenate it with Master file and make sure it is first in the list and use this 1 pass solution which will give you the desired results
