DFSORT does NOT support the XSUM parameter but the SELECT operator of DFSORT's ICETOOL can perform the same function (and more). For complete details, see the "Keep dropped duplicate records (XSUM)" Smart DFSORT trick at:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? ... g3T7000094

Note that the Programmer Response for the message you received (ICE172A) also tells you how to do it:
