Can we join 3 files using JOINKEYS in a single step?

Yes and No.

No, you can't specify three JOINKEYS statements.

Yes, you may be able to concatenate two files on on JOINKEYS and arrange to distinguish between the records. Depends on the detail of what you want.

Try to use either ICETOOL, or SYNCTOOL, whatever is available to you.
Javas and Pythons come and go, but JCL and SORT stay forever.
