hi ,
I have an infile of record length 332. in which byte 330 will have L,T, M, D, A, Z,N,P
I need a output file which will be sorted in the order of N,L,P,T,M,D,A,Z.

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
ALTSEQ CODE=(D500,D301,D702,E303,D404,C405,C106,E907)
SORT FIELDS=(330,1,AQ,A)

SORT FIELDS=(330,1,AQ,A)
Sorts the byte at position 330 according to the alternate collating sequence indicated by the ALTSEQ statement.
ALTSEQ CODE=(D500,D301,D702,E303,D404,C405,C106,E907)
Sets the alternate collating sequence as follows:
X'D5' (C'N') is collated as X'00'.
X'D3' (C'L') is collated as X'01'.
X'D7' (C'P') is collated as X'02'.
X'E3' (C'T') is collated as X'03'.
X'D4' (C'M') is collated as X'04'.
X'C4' (C'D') is collated as X'05'.
X'C1' (C'A') is collated as X'06'.
X'E9' (C'Z') is collated as X''07'.
So 'N' in position 330 is sorted first, then 'L', and so on.
Thus, the order of the records sorted by position 330 is N,L,P,T,M,D,A,Z.
