 INREC FIELDS=(X'0000000001')                   
   SORT FIELDS=(001,01,BI,A)

 OUTREC FIELDS=(002,04,BI,EDIT=(TTTTTTTTT),

Yes, it's a very inefficient way to get the record count. See the "Display the number of input or output records" Smart DFSORT Trick at:

www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=114&uid=isg3T7000094

for better ways to do that.
