This can be done in two steps
in the step1 copy the the selective records by giving the
syntax as
skiprec = 4 -
stopaft = 50

this will copy only the selected records, now in the step2
we can perform sort
syntax is
sort fields=(starting position,length,type,A/D)
A--ascending and D--descending order

correct me if I am wrong

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
