I think you don't need to mention these atrributes, SORT will automatially set it same as the SORTIN file.

If the input file is in DASDs, you can use 'LIKE='i/p file'' parameter while you catalog the o/p dataset.
LIKE will not support tape datasets

This can be done in JCL:
//SORTOUT DD DSB=*.SORTIN
