XSUM is just to store the bypassed data during a SORT JCL.
For example see the below given JCL,
//STEPSORT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX.PV.SUMIN.SAMF
//SORTOF01 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX.PV.SUMOUT.SAMF
//SORTXSUM DD DSN=XXX.PV.DUPLIC.SAMF,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(TRK,(50,50),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=60,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,A)
OUTFIL FILES=01,INCLUDE=(6,6,CH,EQ,C' ')
SUM FIELDS=NONE,XSUM
