Answer

You Can do it through JCL sort. Just add a seq number at the
last position of each record and sort it in descending order
of that seq number.
Here is the exacet code.
SORT FIELSD=COPY
OUTREC=(1,80,SEQNUM,4,ZD)
If your ps file is 80 byte long then this sort card a 4
digit seq num at 81 postion.
Now Sort the file on this seq num in descending
SORT FIELSD=(81,4,ZD,D)

Answer

Narayan if we use your sort card we will get records in
reverse order but along with sequence numbers in cols 81-
84. You are not trimming the seq numbers

Stp1:
SORT FIELSD=COPY
OUTREC=(1,80,SEQNUM,4,ZD)

stp2:
SORT FIELSD=(81,4,ZD,D)
Outrec=(1,80)

The output file will have the records in reverse order.
