Look at PARSE in your SORT manual.Having used PARSE, use an EDIT to format the number. The spaces are easy, the dates, once PARSEd are easy.

JCL cannot do this. Tell me which sort product you use and I will move it to the appropriate part of the forum - that is, if you were thinking of using sort.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
