If you are having both (DFSort and Syncsort) installed, then you need to use proper loadlibs to invoke respective sorts. My guess is that you are still referring to DFSort invoked by DB2 utilities.
DATE5 came out with OCT-2010 ptf, so if you "really" have DFSort installed then ask your sysadmin to install latest PTF.
Read about OCT-2010 in Frank's post here :- ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=51870

You can use probably use DFSORT/SYNCSORT as PGMNAME.
PGM=DFSORT and PGM=SYNCSORT are NOT supported by DFSORT. Of course, a site can assign them as aliases for DFSORT and may well do that with PGM=SYNCSORT, but probably not with PGM=DFSORT.
If a site has Syncsort as the primary sort product (PGM=SORT uses Syncsort), and also has a license for DFSORT, the correct way to use DFSORT (with PGM=SORT) is to JOBLIB or STEPLIB to the correct private libraries in which your System Programmer installed DFSORT.
