Use DFSORT

Refer to the "Display the number of input or output records" Smart DFSORT Trick at this link which is a PDF that you can save on your PC.

The SORT STEP output is a record with the count that you can read in the next STEP.

JCL, SQL and code in programs have an irritating habit of doing what you say,
not what you meant.
