If the file's RECFM is FB, with a record size of 150, this should work:

  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'I'),
     OVERLAY=(151:C'0  0  0  0  ')),
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,
     PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C'.',FIXLEN=3),
            %02=(ENDBEFR=C'.',FIXLEN=3),
            %03=(ENDBEFR=C'.',FIXLEN=3),
            %04=(ENDBEFR=C',',FIXLEN=3)),
     OVERLAY=(151:%01,%02,%03,%04))
  SORT FORMAT=UFF,FIELDS=(151,3,A,154,3,A,157,3,A,160,3,A)
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,150)

You would need to make adjustments in OVERLAY, FIELDS, and BUILD for a 
different record length.
