DFSORT does not support the XSUM parameter provided by a
competitive sort
product to write records deleted by SUM processing to a
SORTXSUM DD data
set. However, ICETOOL’s SELECT operator can perform the same
function as
XSUM with FIELDS=NONE. For example, this ICETOOL job:


u can use by this way

//S1EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...
SUM Control Statement
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...
//SORTXSUM DD DSN=...
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(SORTIN) TO(SORTOUT)-
ON(5,4,CH) FIRST DISCARD(SORTXSUM)
