hello,

I am trying to sort a file with the first character for all the rows in the file but only want to sort the other fields when the first character equals to 'D'.

e.g. the input file is like this

Code:
----+----1----+----
B1
T2
DAAA
T1
T4
B3
E9
DCCC
DBBB



What I want to do is -

1. Sort by the 1st character.
2. Sort the other fields (col 2-4) when the 1st char is 'D'

So the expect output file is -

Code:
----+----1----+----
B1
B3
DAAA
DBBB
DCCC
E9
T2
T1
T4



Can this be implemented by DFSORT?

Thank you!!

Kolusu's job works correctly except that you might need to add the EQUALS option.

Here's a slightly simplified version of the DFSORT job. Note that we're assuming the input file has RECFM=FB.
