Here is my problem...
MY INPUT FILE IS OF VARIABLE RECORD LENGTH. I WANT TO CREATE A FILE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1.IT SHOULD BE A FIXED RECORD LENGTH FILE.
2.IT SHOULD CONTAIN ONLY 2 FILEDS FROM THE INPUT FILE,
1ST FIELD FROM POSITION 5 TO 7,
2ND FIELD FROM POSITION 61 TO 63.
3.IT SHOULD BE SORTED IN ASCENDING ORDER BASED ON THE 5TH TO 7TH POSITION OF THE INPUT FILE.
3.IT SHOULD OMIT A RECORD IF THE 5TH TO 7TH POSITION OF THE INPUT RECORD IS EQUAL TO '3DT'.

Rchilla,
Since the input file is a variable file the actual data starts in position 5 ( the first 4 bytes is RDW).so accordingly your sort fields will now change.So your fields in question actually start at 9 and 65 bytes respectively
Code:
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=YOUR INPUT VBFILE,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT FBFILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(9,3,CH,A)
OUTFIL CONVERT,OMIT=(9,3,CH,EQ,C'3DT'),
OUTREC=(9,3, $ FLD1 STARTS AT 9 & LENGTH OF 3
65,3, $ FLD2 STARTS AT 65 & LENGTH OF 3
80:x) $ Pad with spaces for the rest of 74 bytes
