Jayaram Nallamothu,
There are several ways to accomplish what you want...
Since it's sorted, you could use a stage variable to hold the current value of A and a stage variable to hold your values that need to be concatenated.
A quick and easy way to do it would be to use a hash file with column A as the key. Do a lookup on column A, concatenate B with hash column field B, concatenate column C with hash file column C, concatenate column D with hash file column D, then write to/update the hash file with the concatenated values... Then read the rows out of the hash file for further processing or to write to your output.
Sorry if I don't explain it too well, but this is the general idea.
