Compare File1 header (position (7,6)) with File2 1st Record only (position (31,6)). If matching Max-RC should be 0, else throw Max-RC 16.
If return code is 0 then File2 will be merged with File1 in the next step.

Sample layout:
LRECL=95 for Both files

File1: With Header

I tried by keeping single record in each file. No idea with multiple records.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTJNF1 DD DSN=File1,DISP=SHR
//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,NULLOUT=RC16
JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(7,6,A)
JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(31,6,A)
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:7,6,F2:31,6)
/*

1. Learn to use Code button when presenting your code, and/or data:

//STEP01    EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTJNF1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
   OPTION COPY,NULLOUT=RC16
   JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(7,6,A)
   JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(31,6,A)
   REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:7,6,F2:31,6)
/*


2. Stop your habits to assign stupid names to ANY OBJECT OF YOUR CODE, like STEP01, etc!!!
Also, instead of obsolete FILE=F1 try to use the format F1=meaningful_DD_name

3. Try to learn about //SYMNAMES option of SORT utility, to assign meaningful names to all used fields, instead of their absolute positions, and offsets.

4. Search and learn about extra processing statements //JFN1CNTL, and //JFN2CNTL, to pre-handle each of F1/F2 DD data before they are joined.

5. Likely, you need to (temporary) renumber each record of both F1/F2, and then use INCLUDE parameter in each of your JOINKEYS statement.

Please, try it yourself, before asking to provide you with the ready-to-use code.

The provided attempt was not that bad, omitting the JOIN statement. It just missed the STOPAFT part.

Code:
//WHATEVER EXEC PGM=SORT                                 
//F1       DD *

Thanks Joerg, the code worked after adding STOPAFT.

Code:
//SYSIN    DD *
   OPTION COPY,NULLOUT=RC4
   JOINKEYS FILE=F1,STOPAFT=1,FIELDS=(7,6,A)
   JOINKEYS FILE=F2,STOPAFT=1,FIELDS=(31,6,A)
   REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:7,6,F2:31,6)

I was not aware one can add that keyword to the JOINKEYS statement as well. Thanks for the update.
