For three-characters followed by a count, a simple MERGE (so instead of SORTIN you use SORTIN01, SORTIN02 and SORTIN03) with the key and a SUM, or the OUTFIL reporting features with SECTIONS and TRAILER3 using TOT/TOTAL.
Of course, if your input files are not in order (despite the sample you have shown), you can't use MERGE, you have to SORT with concatenated data as has already been suggested.

If you mean Frank Yaeger, he retired from IBM in May 2012, so you're more than three years late.
It's a MERGE with SUM. SUM I hope you know. MERGE is like SORT but is for multiple files which are all in the same sequence. MERGE takes those files, and creates one output file, in sequence.
If you want to look at the OUTFIL with REMOVECC,NODETAIL and SECTIONS with TRAILER3, there are examples here.
