I guess I overcomplicated things with the use of the counter
temp. It turns out that since Item3 is unique within Item1
and Item2, that I can just use it instead of the counter as the third
sort key and get the correct results.<br><br>
Thank you all for the help. <br><br>

that even though the ITEM statement for TI-REC-CNT appears before the
SORT statement, it is not processed until the output phase. ITEM
statements are output phase statements. So having TI-REC-CNT in the sort
simply sorts on the same value, 0, for each transaction.<br>
