Thanks John, for the tip. You're sure closer to expert than I. Sri
answered in detail but your direction was spot on. Again, embarrassment
that I couldn't RTFM this myself.
I've done quite a bit of OUTFIL OUTREC work but this is my first INREC
example. It sure will come in handy in the future.

I'm no expert! But it occurs to me that perhaps you could use the
INREC to put the parsed data into a fixed location and SORT on that
location. The use the OUTREC to strip out that inserted data. I have
no idea if this is workable or not. I just thought I'd throw it into
the ring.

Calling all DF/SORT experts: Is it possible to parse a field from the input
record (which floats, of course, otherwise we wouldn't be parsing), and use
the located field as the sort sequence?
For example:
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,
PARSE=(%22=(STARTAFT=C'something',ENDBEFR=C'else)',FIXLEN=10)),
BUILD=(001:%22, the parse field
011:1,120) other stuff I want
SORT FIELDS=(%22,CH,A) I wish to sort on %22
Apologies in advance if I failed to locate the capability in the manual.
