In above example, we can use OUTREC instead of INREC,
INREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields before the records are sorted or
merged. so that performance will be improved
OUTREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields after the records are sorted or
merged.

Here,
SUM FIELDS=NONE means it will eliminate duplicates
XSUM options will copy all records eliminated in sort process will copy to
another data set defined in SORTXSUM step
