The requirement is to remove the duplicate entry of a XTN under a different Group (GRP).
If a duplicate XTN is found then,the duplicate record should be written in Output file 2(same format as input)
But if all the XTNs under a GRP are found to be duplicates then all the GRP’s records(including records
that have XTN as spaces but having values in YTN)should go to a different output file(output file 3) .
These duplicate records should not be written in Output file 2.
Unique records should also written in Output file 1
Output1: Unique records
| Code: |

Your rules about the relationship between the groups and duplicate XTN numbers is not very clear. Are XTNs for one group duplicates if those XTNs are found in another group, or in any group, or what?
Also, I can't figure out what the rules are for blank XTN fields. Can you explain why some of them end up in output file1 and some end up in output file3 but none end up in output file2? |

Thanks Frank for your reply. yes, it is a bit confusing.
I had used the SELECT and the SPLICE operator of ICETOOL and it worked. |
