Raju,

The following sort job will do the needful,

Code:

//R010     EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR.INPUT.FILE,
//            DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=YOUT.OUTPUT.FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE),
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,9,
                 8,1,CHANGE=(1,C'5',C'Y'),NOMATCH=(C'N'),
                 11,70)
/*

Here is a short explanation of the job.
1. Copy 1 to 9 bytes from the input file as such.
2. In 10th position of the output file copy the 8th column from the input file and use CHANGE command to do the IF-THEN-ELSE replacements as you requested.
3. Copy the remaining data i.e from 11 to end of record. Note: I assumed that the input file is RECFM=FB and LRECL=80. You need to change the job to support your needs.

Hope this helps,
Phantom
