Is there a way to use the functionality of SKIPREC=n but not omit the record from the output file.
Sample Input:
999
444
333
111
222

Desired Output:
999
111
222
333
444

I think you're trying to keep record 1 (a header?) where it is and sort the rest of the records. If that's what you're trying to do, then you can use a DFSORT job like this to do it. I assumed your input file has RECM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.
