If you have DB2 you will still have DFSORT.  Just a smaller version to support 
DB2 functions

If you do not have DB2 then SYNCSORT is an alternative.

What version of DFSORT and z/OS are you running?

You might also check  Professor Sort

On how to improve your sorting processes

Or see if ICETOOL can help.  

Having used by DFSORT and SYNCSORT, there are functions that both do well.  It 
will depend on your requirements as to which you will use.
