I'm not sure about the answers posted.But you can try this
simple JCL to achieve what you want.

//JOBCARD /*As per your company standard*/
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//Sortin DD DSN=<Inputfile>,disp=shr
//SORT0F01 DD DSN=<FILENM1>,DISP=OLD
//SORT0F02 DD DSN=<FILENM2>,DISP=OLD
//SORT0F03 DD DSN=<FILENM3>,DISP=OLD
//SORT0F04 DD DSN=<FILENM4>,DISP=OLD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY OR SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,STARTREC=1,ENDREC=1
OUTFIL FILES=02,STARTREC=2,ENDREC=2
OUTFIL FILES=03,STARTREC=3,ENDREC=3
OUTFIL FILES=04,STARTREC=4,ENDREC=4
/*
//

NOTE: I have given DISP=OLD which means it will override
the contents when you submit the jcl
If you want to create a new dataset replace like this
EX:
//SORT0F04 DD DSN=<FILENM4>,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,4)),DCB=*.SORTIN

Hope this makes sense!!
