Select all

..........
sysin:
 //  sort fields=copy
       outfil fnames=sortout,
                include=(13,2,bi,eq,x'305e') and
                include=(569,1,zd,eq,1)
//*

The correct DFSORT syntax is:

Select all

//SYSIN DD *                             
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                       
  OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,                 
    INCLUDE=(13,2,BI,EQ,X'305E',AND,     
    569,1,ZD,EQ,1)                       

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
