Please execute the following steps.
Code:

//SORTIN   DD  DSN=&HLQ..INPUT.FILE,   *input file           
//             DISP=SHR                             
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=&&TEMP,                           
//             DISP=(NEW,PASS),                     
//             UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(800,200),RLSE),
//             DCB=(*.SORTIN)                       
//SYSIN  DD  *                                       
 SORT FIELDS=(10,3,CH,D)                             
 SUM FIELDS=NONE                                     
/*                                                   
//STEP02  EXEC  PGM=SORT                             
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=&&TEMP,                           
//             DISP=(OLD,PASS)                       
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=A021680.OUTPUT.FILE,   *Output file           
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),             
//             UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(800,200),RLSE),
//             DCB=(*.SORTIN)                       
//SYSIN  DD  *                                       
 SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=1

Dont you think the output of first step would be only the first line, ie
Report-1 101?
