Is using cobol part of the requirement, and why?
If you sort the dataset with NODUPKEY keyword (do not have the sort documentation online) duplicate records on the key will be deleted. |

You have to sort the file in key sequence anyway, read a record, store the key value, compare to that of the previous record, if different write to output, else do nothing, start over with the read.
Is that so difficult? |

There is a flaw in my logic above, so I have to correct myself: The compare with the previous record key has to be done before you store the value of the current record in it. |
