Hi,

Hi,
It can be done using sort.
As Gnana Sekaran Nallathambi mentioned, you have to provide us the clear information of what actually needs to be done?
Thanks in advance!!! |

Based on your description, you can use DFSORT control statements like this:
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=(p,m,f,s)
OUTREC BUILD=(5,4)
|
where p,m,f,s is the starting position, length, format and sequence of the field you want to sort on (you can use multiple sort fields if appropriate).
Note that the OUTREC statement is processed after the records are sorted, whereas the INREC statement is processed before the records are sorted.
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
