In general Syncsort shops would already have the Syncsort's ICETOOL alternative - SYNCTOOL installed. And the above ICETOOL job should run and give you the same results unless you tried it already and it gave you an error.
Normally both PGM=ICETOOL OR PGM=SYNCTOOL would invoke the SYNCTOOL package at a Syncsort shop.
Now back to your 'new' requirement, from your latest post it seems like you still have 2 scenarios unless I got it wrong.
Case1 - records > 1 or records = 0
Case2 - records = 1
If you modify the control card to use EQUAL, it would return RC=4 when you have exactly 1 record and RC=0 for the rest, ie. records = 0 or > 1
EDIT: Alternatively NOTEQUAL(1) could be used, which would return RC=0 for 1-record and RC=4 for everything else.
