Hi Sagar,
I have come up with this solution:
Code:

//SORTIN   DD *                                               
25DEC10                                                       
//SORTOUT     DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSIN    DD *                                               
  OPTION COPY                                                 
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'JAN'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/01/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'FEB'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/02/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'MAR'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/03/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'APR'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/04/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'MAY'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/05/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'JUN'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/06/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'JUL'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/07/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'AUG'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/08/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'SEP'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/09/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'OCT'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/10/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'NOV'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/11/',1,2)),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,3,CH,EQ,C'DEC'),OVERLAY=(8:C'20',6,2, 
                C'/12/',1,2))                                 
  OUTREC BUILD=(8,10)                                         
/*

Hi devil13,

Thanks for quick response. Is there any other way using date predefined functions in SORT to achieve the result....

sagarnsydney,

There are no built-in functions to convert the date in text form. Here is another way of getting the desired results which also performs a date validity check.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                     
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//SORTIN   DD *                                             
25DEC10                                                     
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//SYSIN    DD *                                             
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                           
  INREC IFOUTLEN=80,                                         
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(81:3,3,1,2,6,2)),               
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,FINDREP=(STARTPOS=81,                   
          INOUT=(C'JAN',C'01',C'FEB',C'02',C'MAR',C'03',     
                 C'APR',C'04',C'MAY',C'05',C'JUN',C'06',     
                 C'JUL',C'07',C'AUG',C'08',C'SEP',C'09',     
                 C'OCT',C'10',C'NOV',C'11',C'DEC',C'12'))), 
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(81,6,Y2W,TOGREG=Y4T(/)))       
//*
