Records will be in bunch as illustarted below i.e) 0AAA01 to 0QWE11 and again 0AAA01 to 0QWE11 the same.

You'd been here long enough to use the Code tags for posting.
You are saying you have two subsets of data in your file; they need to be sorted "in place", ie all the records in their new position will be in locations previously occupied by records of the same type in the same "group", the group only being defined by a number of consecutive records of that type; groups for one record type are to be sorted ascending, the other descending.
Is that about it?
Yes, it can be done if you confirm/explain. |

You will need to create a new field for the sort key on your records.
For records that you want to stay the same, this needs to contain a record sequence-number.
Define a group for your required records. Use the record sequence-number of the group header for the first key, so all records in the group will have the same "sequence number".
Then you need a new field for your subset key. The ascending is easy. There are a number of ways to deal with the descending. Perhaps because your key is so short, just "invert". Define a field for the desceding key as binary, and subtract it from zero to give you the descending key for an ascending sort.
Sort on the two new keys.
Use OUTREC/OUTFIL BUILD to strip off the extra filekds. |

anandinmainframe,
How did a space record get sorted after 'A' ? If you are sorting on ASCENDING sequence , the space record will be the first record when sorted.
ex:
