| Is is possible to add comments within the DFSORT statements for documentation ? |

Yes. Just use an * in position 1. You can also use blank statements.
For example:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
* A SORT statement follows this comment.
SORT FIELDS=(5,4,CH,A)
* An OUTREC statement statement follows this comment which
* is written using two lines.
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,50,
*A comment in between operands is ok too.

Alternatively you can add comments seperating the control cards with a space like this
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(01,10,CH,A, $ EMP-NUMBER ASCENDING
50,08,PD,D) $ SALARY DESCENDING
OUTREC BUILD=(20,30, $ EMP-NAME
X, $ SPACE
01,10, $ EMP-NUMBER
X, $ SPACE
50,08) $ SALARY

| Note that those are referred to as "remark fields" in the DFSORT books, whereas statements starting with an * in position 1 are referred to as "comment statements". |
