digitalnirmal,

You need to use the SUBSTRING (SS) field comparision to get the desired results. Assuming that your field in question starts from pos 8 for a length of 10 bytes the following JCL will give you the desired results.
Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                 
//SORTIN   DD *     
XXXXXXXFSSSDFDDMSSXXXXXXXXXXXX         
XXXXXXXPORABCJUDEXXXXXXXXXXXX         
XXXXXXXERERFSHDMSSXXXXXXXXXXXX         
XXXXXXXABCGHISKSOXXXXXXXXXXXX         
XXXXXXXFSSDSHDMSSXXXXXXXXXXXX         
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                 
//SYSIN    DD *                       
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                     
  INCLUDE COND=(8,10,SS,EQ,C'ABC')     
/*                             


Hope this helps...

Cheers
