Suppose A1 has got “12345” as one record and “12345” as second record.. but the correspondind PA-ID has got two different values for the A1 values like this…

Hello,

Once you correct the code page problem, post the Easytrieve code that is not working/needs enhancement. Suggest you use the "Code" tag for readability.

Or just wait for a reply in the other forum where you posted the same question.
