RECFM=U is a load library. What possible reason would you have to process it with a SORT?

RECFM=U can also be used as output from DFdss - but I wouldask why it needs to sorted

Vatsalya,
You're getting that message because DFSORT does not support processing of RECFM=U data sets. If you had looked up the ICE043A message in "z/OS DFSORT Messages, Codes and Diagnosis" or with LookAt, you would have seen that one of the bullets under Explanation for that message is:
The record format of the input or output data set was U (undefined).
