I have an input file and i need the output to have unique records based on 2 conditions.
Ex
Output File looks like this
| Code: |
111-22-3333AB3045000
111-22-3333XX2345000
121-22-3333CB3045000
131-22-3333DB3045000
|
Output File should have only
111-22-3333AB3045000
121-22-3333CB3045000
131-22-3333DB3045000
The output was filtered on 2 conditions - on the SSN and the amount(here it is 45000) on a specified field. Since rec 1 and rec 2 were not exactly duplicates but were duplicates in these 2 fields (SSN and the amount 45000)
I cannot use Sum fields = none in this case.
Please advise. |

Please clarify.
What happens when you run a test with SUM FIELDS=NONE?
Post the jcl and control statements and the informational messages generated by the run. Include the message ids. |

Hi,
when i use Sum fields=none it gives the output as
| Code: |
111-22-3333AB3045000
111-22-3333XX2345000
121-22-3333CB3045000
131-22-3333DB3045000
|
So that doesnt help. Can you advise on how to eliminate the duplicate records if the same value is appearing on a particular field? |

Maybe not the "real" jcl, but you could make a copy with the names changed. There is no reason to not post the sort control statements and the messages/ids generated by the run.
If you are unwilling to provide info to help yourself, you may have a longer wait for help  |

Good to hear this is working 
Why was the original attempt with SUM FIELDS=NONE unsuccessful? |

This statement makes no sense. Records are duplicates or not depending on whether the SORT fields you specify match. If you specify the two fields you're interested in as the SORT fields, then SUM FIELDS=NONE will only keep one of the duplicates for those matching fields. The fields you don't specify as SORT fields don't have any effect on whether the records are considered to be duplicates. |
