In above example, we can use OUTREC instead of INREC,

 INREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields before the records are sorted or
merged. so that performance will be improved
 OUTREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields after the records are sorted or
merged.

 SUM FIELDS:

//STEP009 EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=0M

//SORTIN DD DSN=SAMPLE.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN= SAMPLE.OUTPUT9,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),

Here,
 SUM FIELDS=NONE means it will eliminate duplicates
 XSUM options will copy all records eliminated in sort process will copy to
another data set defined in SORTXSUM step
