In your expected output, why do you show the 4th record with a '1' instead of a '2'? Records 2-5 have a 'C' in position 9, so records 3-5 should have a '2' in position 1 - right?

If that's what you want, then here's a DFSORT job that will do it. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.
