Assuming that you File 1 and File 3 are suitable for contcatenation, one step to read those (start first, end second) and create a symbol/SYMNAMES file sourced with the appropriate value.
Then in the second step, where you process File 2, use the symbols.
Similar to examples here where one "date file" is required, it's just that you have two.

Thanks Bill, could you please give me the link of the examples you mentioned

If you click on DFSORT/ICETOOL immediately above, you'll be taken to that particular forum. There is a Search box. I put "symbols" in and about the fourth result was this.
