AFAIR there is one of "Smart DFSORT Tricks" which address the problem.
The book is old (20+ years), but you can find it:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/$FILE/sorttrck.pdf
Look for IDCAMS and "Delete all members of a PDS"
This is similar example.
(shameless plug: you can find my name in the book - I did it over 20
years ago).

Given a list of Datasets with varying length dsnames:
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1
ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2
ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP
ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1
ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL
ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2
I easily get:
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2 "
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP "
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1 "
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL "
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2 "
But I want:
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1"
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2"
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1"
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2"
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2"
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1 "
name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2"
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP"
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1"
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL"
name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2"
So I guess I need to use Rexx, or some other language? SORT doesn't do variable
length output fields?
