Need to wite the list of members which has the string like that and need to write the only member name into the other file.

Your post is incoherent:

Justify why SRCHFOR cannot be used.
Where is the PDS name supposed to come from?
What is
Need to wite the list of members which has the string like that and need to write the only member name into the other file.
supposed to mean?

if it finds the pgm=sort string..ya we can do using srchfor and also 3.14 option.but trying to write in rexx

Try this:
- Run SRCHFOR in batch.
- examine the JCL that is created
- add alloc/free commands to your rexx
- run the rexx

Something like this:

Select all

/* NOW CALL IDCAMS TO PROCESS IT */

"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSOUT) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSDBOUT) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSUDUMP) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(AMSDUMP) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSABEND) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSPRINT) DSNAME('*')"
"ALLOC DDNAME(SYSIN) DSNAME('WTSO.WNEG.SYSIN') SHR"

"CALL 'SYS1.LINKLIB(IDCAMS)'"

COMPILER_RC=RC
"FREE DD(SYSOUT,SYSDBOUT,SYSUDUMP,AMSDUMP,SYSABEND,SYSPRINT,SYSIN)"
"DELETE ('WTSO.WNEG.SYSIN') NONVSAM"

This is running IDCAMS, but you get the picture.
