I've used the below jcl:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                            
//SYSUT1   DD   DUMMY,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80                  
//SYSUT2   DD   DSN=RK.MYDIR.FILES(NEW1),DISP=(SHR)      
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                                
//SYSIN    DD   DUMMY

I was able to create it. But i can't understand the code here. Is there any possibility to create using IEFBR14. If not this is the nly way. Please kindly explain me the code. Thank you

It can't be done with IEFBR14

IEBCOPY is more appropriate: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/basics/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.zdatamgmt/zsysprogc_utilities_IEBCOPY.htm

This is the reference which helps explain IEBGENER: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/basics/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.zdatamgmt/zsysprogc_utilities_IEBGENER.htm
