I would rather say ...
has been inactive since almost a year, only 10 posts after all
and he should have known that if he wanted better replies he should have posted in a better way ...
these threads usually lower the benevolence factor of the TS/OP |

Hi All,
Thanks for your expertise and suggestions so far. Let me explain you the requirement before i leave.
I have a file coming from some system, not from mainframe, dont know or dont care how it is coming sorted and specifications says it will be sorted.
So the file is sorted on the key and the file content example is below,
AA12345ZINSSXY
AA12345ZINSSXY
AA12345ZINSZXY
BB34444STUPSPP
My key is position 1 to 2 and 13 to 14
if two records have the same key and the value of the first record in position 8 to 12 is 'ZINSSS' and second record the same position has record 'ZINSSZ' then both the records have to be omitted from writing to output file, rest all records should be written to output file.
Of course my system has SORT and related tools, but for the records omitted a report should be printed and should be sent to business in specific format, for this the client feels using a cobol program is better.
So i have to do using program and i got the logic and did the program and first report has been successfully delivered.
To the point that i did only 10 posts during the last one year, i have explanation for that, it is not necessary for me to look at this everytime i am stuck, i know enough and i do my 'HOMEWORK' well and i have enough knowledge in IT. But sometimes too many things are need to be done from your side and you have a lots of work to do, all have to be done in one day, you think the best possibilities to reduce your time...that is the mistake i did and posted in this site..sorry for that...
Now you have the requirement clear...if you think about the logic or dont think i dont care!
Thanks a lot for all your help so far! |

Hello,

Posting was not a mistake. Taking personal affront to replies might be. . . Keep in mind that replies are not directed at the poster nearly as often as they are directed at the idea 
Unfortunately, your initial post was misunderstood by many and so most replies centered on a sort/utility solution. Had your most recent post been part of the topic start, this topic might have developed completely differently.
And yes, i agree with your client - i believe this is best served by code.

Probably not the best way to proceed. . . Attitude is everything.

This guy feels overworked and decides to get some consulting help w/o paying for it and gets pissed when he gets no cooperation.    |
