I'd answer DFSORT has a lot of features which I would not consider core
features, which doesn't mean they are not useful.

I'd say it's because eliminating duplicate records isn't really a core
feature; it's just a useful by-product of the SUM function.
Obviously, there's a world of divers requirements out there, but SORT
focuses on cases where you want to combine information from duplicate
keys, not just ignore

I always wondered why the function to simply eliminate duplicate records is
hidden within the SUM function? This is awkward. Why isn't there a clear and
straight forward keyword

Glad it worked. Just to be clear, EQUALS is specified if you want to maintain

Is it possible your installation default is EQUALS=YES? This causes extra
bytes to be added to the sort field internally

I *have* read the manual, but am apparently still clueless
The jcl
