You aren't showing an ICETOOL job - just DFSORT control statements (which may be part of an ICETOOL job but there's no way for me to tell from what you posted).

The MODS statement indicates that the specified E35 exit should be used. For complete details on DFSORT's MODS statement, see:

For complete details on DFSORT's E35 exit, see:
