What kind of VSAM data set is it? Are the altered positions part of a key?

If you want to do it in sort why waste time posting in the JCL section when there are sections for both Dfsort and Syncsort? Which sort product do you use? Tell us that and your topic will be moved to the correct part of the forum.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Your SORTIN and SORTOUT should be different datasets. You should not attempt to update a VSAM dataset "in place" with your SORT product.
