If the VSAM input records can be treated as F (fixed-length), you can use a DFSORT job like this:

Code:

//F EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  VSAM input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...   output file
//SYSIN DD *
   RECORD TYPE=F
   INCLUDE COND=(8,2,CH,EQ,11,2,CH)
   SORT FIELDS=(p,m,f,s)
/*


If the VSAM input records must be treated as V (variable-length), you can use a DFSORT job like this (you must add 4 to the starting positions to account for the RDW DFSORT uses to process the records as variable-length):

Code:

//V EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  VSAM input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...   output file
//SYSIN DD *
   RECORD TYPE=V
   INCLUDE COND=(12,2,CH,EQ,15,2,CH)
   SORT FIELDS=(p+4,m,f,s)
/*
