Answer / seema dawlekar

This can be done in two steps
in the step1 copy the the selective records by giving the
syntax as
skiprec = 4 -
stopaft = 50

this will copy only the selected records, now in the step2
we can perform sort
syntax is
sort fields=(starting position,length,type,A/D)
A--ascending and D--descending order

correct me if I am wrong
