See the smart DFSORT trick "Sort groups of records" here

Thanks kolusu..

I have tried with DATASORT. It works fine when i already know that there are this many header & trailer present in the file.. the problem here is that the no of header & trailer are not constant. i want a sort it would handle multiple headers & trailers and sort the details records.

Thanks,
Siva

sivafdms,

Well you should have looked at sorting groups of records using when=group instead of datasort. Either way if your data has A, B, D in the first byte, isn't it a simple sorting on that ? You need to post better examples of data if you need help from us.
