Billy Ashton,
You are using BUILD which cannot see the freshly built sequence number. So
switch to using OVERLAY as shown Alan benveniste and you can make multiple
computations on the same field.
I am guessing that you are generating the 9-byte record file. If so, please use
this untested control cards
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(9X)
OUTFIL REPEAT=1000000,
OVERLAY=(SEQNUM,9,ZD,START=1,INCR=4,
1:((1,9,ZD,ADD,-999999999),MUL,-1),M25,LENGTH=9)

You don’t have to as DFSORT can do arithmetic calculations in the same pass of
data

I appreciate you trying to help, but DFSORT will only use HIPERSPACE/DATASPACES
for SORTING the data. Here OP is only COPYING/CREATING the data and DFSORT
will not use them.

Thanks Alan. I am sure that provided control cards will work. Good to see you.
Thanks,
