Hi Chandu,
You can add SEQ NUM to every rec & then you can SORT the file DESCENDING on SEQ NUM.
I remember this query discussed earlier too.....Please make a search for more solutions.

Chandu,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
* Add seqnum after end of records.
INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)
* Sort descending on seqnum.
SORT FIELDS=(81,8,ZD,D)
* Remove seqnum.
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)

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:
