Hi Chandu,

You can add SEQ NUM to every rec & then you can SORT the file DESCENDING on SEQ NUM.

I remember this query discussed earlier too.....Please make a search for more solutions.

Chandu,

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.
