Please go thru the below points and let me know how to code
this.
1. Sort the input dataset for the condition : Starting
position is 37,length of the field is 13 based on character
and in the ascending order , starting from position 25
length of 12 ,character and in the ascending order. Use a
temporary dataset to hold the sorted file.
2. Use the temporary file created in the above step as the
input for the next step. The next step is to execute a
program and produce an output file. Use the temporary file
created in the above as work file 1 and the output of the
file to be created in this step work file 2.Also, pass a
parameter to the program that is to be executed in this
step. The parameter should have the current date in
YYYYMMDD format.

For the sake of convenience, you can use the below
Job Name : Sample1
Input DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.INPUT
Temporary DSN : Sort1
Output DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.OUTPUT
Program Name : SAMPLE
