Answer / shinoy sansilavose
Suppose if you want to sort a file TEST.OUTPUT.FILE which
is the output of your COBOL program then you can do the
following coding in JCL,
//SORTIN DD DSN=TEST.OUTPUT.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TEST.OUTPUT.SORT.FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=TESTDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(50,50)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)
Now the sorted file TEST.OUTPUT.SORT.FILE will be sorted
based on the field starting from 1 to 5 specified in the
input for SORT.

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYSORTPGM
//INFILE DD DSN=MY.UNSORTED.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(100,20))
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(100,20))
//OUTFILE DD DSN=MY.SORTED.FILE,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=TEST,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),
// DCB=(DSCB.FB,LRECL=500)
SELECT SORTWK01-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWK01.
SD SORTWK01-FILE
etc.

YOU HAVE TO SIMPLY WRITE THE FOLLOWING CODE IN YOUR JCL :
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SUPERSRT
//SORTIN DD DSN=TEST001.INFILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TEST001.SORTED,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0),
// UNIT=WORK,SPACE=(TRK,5,2),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(16,05,ZD,A)
/*
THE CONTAINT OF THE TEST001.INFILE WILL BE COPPIED TO
TEST001.SORTED FILE AND THIS TEST001.SORTED FILE WILL BE
SORTED IN ASCENDING ORDER OF THE CONTAINT OF FIELD POSITION
16 TO 20..
