You have been on this forum for almost 11 years and have seen none of the posts stating that telling us something "doesn't work" is useless -- HOW did it not work?
Did it generate a SORT error?
Did it generate a non-zero return code for the SORT step (and if so, WHAT RETURN CODE)?
Did it generate an empty output data set?
Did it generate a data set with the correct data but no headers or trailers?
Did it generate a data set with the correct data and headers but no trailers?
Did it generate a data set with the correct data and headers and trailers but they are not correct (and if this is the case, HOW are they not correct)?
etc
etc
etc
There's LOTS of ways something "doesn't work" -- you need to give us at least a little information about what isn't working for us to help you! You should post at a minimum the SORT messages!
