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)

Thanks for help in advance.
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
