Murali,

Try the Sort Users Guide and Reference.  Here is a link to the V4R5 manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v4r5eng.htm

The source member YCP05310S contains the "sort" specifications.  See chapter
8 for a description of the Header specification, chapter 9 for the record
specifications (the FN statements), and chapter 10 for the field
specifications (the FD statements).
