SORTSUMF | NOSORTSUMF

SORTSUMF: specifies that the host sort utility supports the SUM FIELDS=NONE control card.
NOSORTSUMF: specifies that the host sort utility does not support the SUM FIELDS=NONE control card. If NOSORTSUMF is in effect and the NODUPKEY option was specified when PROC SORT was invoked, then records that have duplicate keys are eliminated.

Details

If the NODUPKEY procedure option is specified when the SORT procedure is invoked, the SORTSUMF system option can be used to specify whether the host sort utility supports the SUM FIELDS=NONE control statement.

Note that duplicate keys are not the same as duplicate records. Duplicate keys can be eliminated with the NODUPKEY option, whereas duplicate records can be eliminated with the NODUP option in the PROC SORT statement.
