Answer / manoj
This can be done using two SORTs in a JCL.
1. In the first SORT, sort the file and create two output
files.
File 1: Containing records from 1 to 7
File 2: Containing records 9 & 10
//SYSIN DD*
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,ENDREC=07
OUTFIL FILES=02,STARTREC=09,ENDREC=10
/*
2. Use another SORT statement and then merge the two
statements created above.

Hi,
you can do something like this using inrec & outfil
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
XXXX1 ABCEDFHIJCKLMO
XXXX2 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX3 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX4 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX5 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX6 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX7 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX9 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXX10 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,EQUALS
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,RECORDS=10,PUSH=(21:SEQ=1))
OUTFIL INCLUDE=(21,1,CH,NE,C'7'),BUILD=(1,20)
Output:
XXXX1 ABCEDFHIJCKLMO
XXXX2 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX3 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX4 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX5 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX6 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX9 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXX10 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO

Answer / madhu
We can achieve the same easily by using ICETOOL.
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=SORT.TEST,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=SORT.TEST.OUTPUT,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE)
//TOOLIN DD *
SUBSET FROM(SORTIN) TO(SORTOUT) INPUT REMOVE RRN(4) RRN(6)
/*
//
Explanation:
SORTIN refer input file with 10 records
SORTOUT is the new file created by excluding 4th and 6th records.
SUBSET,INPUT and REMOVE are defined ones in ICETOOL.
RRN is used to refer the required record .

Answer / ananth
srot fields = copy
stopaft=6
next we have to give another step by using disp=(mod,delete,delete)
skiprec=7
stopaft=4
then 7th record gone remainging records into output file.

I am giving it a try, please correct me if anything is wrong
//JOBNAME JOB `ACCINFO`,MSGCLASS=X
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=DFSORT
//SORTOUT DD DSN=ABC.DEF.GHI
// DISP=(,CTLG)
//SORTIN DD DSN=ABC.EXAMPLE.INFILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=ABC.EXAMPLE.OUTFILE,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE)
//SORTOF01 DD DSN=ABC.EXAMPLE.OUTFILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF02 DD DSN=ABC.EXAMPLE.OUTFILE,DISP=SHR
// DCB=*.SORTIN,SPACE=*.SORTIN
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,STOPAFT=06
OUTFIL FILES=02,SKIPREC=07,STOPAFT=10
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* =COPY

Let me give it a try:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,80,SEQNUM,3,ZD)
INCLUDE COND=(81,03,NE,ZD,3)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
