i am trying to segregate duplicate files in a separate output file but xsum in sum fields is not supported in my version of sort
i am getting information in spool like this:
====================================================================================

anyone please tell me how i can code xsum in my version

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:

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