Hi,

I have a PS file with records with LRECL=80:

ABCDE 98789
ABCDE 456789087
ABCDE 5647860
ABCDE 89568
ABCDE 1

The output PS will contain with LRECL=80:

98789
456789087
5647860
89568
1

How can I do this by sort utility?

regards
utpal

I tried with:

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OMIT=(1,5,CH,EQ,C'ABCDE')

But I am getting blank in 2nd file.

OMIT or INCLUDE is how you "filter" records from the input file.

Try

INREC BUILD=(6,75)

on the line following your COPY and drop the OMIT.
