mickeygoo,

If I understand what you want to do, you can use a DFSORT job like the following:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
A          1
B          2
A          3
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,FINDREP=(STARTPOS=1,ENDPOS=1,SHIFT=NO,
    INOUT=(C'A',C'APPLE',C'B',C'BANANA'))),
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,FINDREP=(STARTPOS=12,ENDPOS=12,
    INOUT=(C'1',C'1 ONE',C'2',C'2 TWO',C'3',C'3 THREE')))
/*

Yes, you can use WHEN=INIT clauses more than once, but WHEN=INIT and WHEN=GROUP clauses must be the first clauses used (they can be intermixed). WHEN=NONE clauses can also be used more than once, but must be the last clauses used.
