Option of USING MOVE keyword in SORT`

I have a JCL step that executes a FileAID utility like below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//PS010 EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSLIST DD SYSOUT=A
//DD01 DD DSN=BEXP.PMSTB.N.IMAGE.XREF.PDSE,DISP=SHR
//DD01O DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),DSN=BEXD.PMSTB.N.MEM,
// UNIT=SYSDA,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,
// SPACE=(TRK,(75,5),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
$$DD01 COPYALL IF=(1,EQ,C'CMA'),
MOVE=(+0,C'$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER='),
MOVE=(+0,8,40),
OUT=0
//*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Infile looks like this:

CMA02254P01'BEXP.PCTLB.E.BEXP.PROD.IMG(C0225401)'
CMA02254P02'BEXP.PCTLB.E.BEXP.PROD.IMG(C0225402)'
CMA02254P03'BEXP.PCTLB.E.BEXP.PROD.IMG(C0225403)'
CMA02254P04'BEXP.PCTLB.E.BEXP.PROD.IMG(C0225404)'
CMA02254P05'BEXP.PCTLB.E.BEXP.PROD.IMG(C0225405)'

And after writing, the Outfile looks like this:

$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER=C0225401
$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER=C0225402
$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER=C0225403
$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER=C0225404
$$DD01 LMODDIR MEMBER=C0225405

I was trying to achieve the same result thru SORT or ICETOOL, I am facing some problem with syntax. Can someone please provide me a syntax for addressing the above situation.

The equivalent DFSORT job would be:

Thanks for the Solution. it works as desired. I just had one small question. What does this 80:X for in this Build ?

80:X is a convenient way of setting the record length (and LRECL) to 80.

It just says to pad out the records with blanks from the last specified position to position 80. So in the output records you would have the constant, the 40,8 input field and then blanks up to and including position 80, and the LRECL would automatically be set to 80.
