sort two files with same sort condition

[anu.slaksh]

how to sort two files with same sort cond n write it into two diff output files

That is to be still more clear,
i have two input files: input1 and input2

i have to sort the files with same sort condt: sort fields=copy

and need two diff output files : output1(corresponding to input1) and output2(corresponding to input2)

tis is possible with two sort steps..
but is there any way to have this process in a single sort step??

Your explanation of what you want to do is very unclear.

[anu.slaksh]

ok, here is an example:
Input file 1: Lrecl = 80
Input file 2: Lrecl = 120

Sort cond : sort field= (9,9,ch,a)

output file 1: Lrecl = 80
Output file 2: Lrecl = 120

I want to sort two different files with same sort condition and write it into two different corresponding output files..

Is there any way to do this in a single step.. instead of two steps for each file??

do u want me to be still more clear?? please do let me know

You can do it in one step with DFSORT's ICETOOL as follows (but it will take two passes):
