Hi.... I have a space delimited file having four fields of the following format
abcdefgh 139 aa 12
asdgfsd 234 ff 98
asdfasdgasdgas 346 gt 34
I know the max length of each field. Is there a way to sort the file such that all the four fields come as separated. Please have a look at the attachment fot the output since if i type it here, the format is not coming properly.

abcdefgh 139 aa 12
asdgfsd 234 ff 98
asdfasdgasdgas 346 gt 34 |
edited to take away attachment an tag the data with the CODE TAGS |

debojitpal,
You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
abcdefgh 139 aa 12
asdgfsd 234 ff 98
asdfasdgasdgas 346 gt 34
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C' ',FIXLEN=31),
%02=(ENDBEFR=C' ',FIXLEN=4),
%03=(ENDBEFR=C' ',FIXLEN=3),
%04=(FIXLEN=2)),
BUILD=(%01,%02,%03,%04)
/*
