Hi,


I have 2 files which i have to join, however the lookup file, file2 is having duplicates and i want to join in the first available match and ignore the subsequent ones.
Is there anyway i can avoid the duplicates in the second file to be in the output other than sorting the second file on the key.


File 1

Code:
0001 UK
0002 JAPAN
0003 NORWAY
0004 DUBAI


File 2

Code:
0001 APPLE
0001 ORANGE
0002 MANGO
0003 GUAVA
0004 GRAPES
0004 PEACH



Fileout

Code:
0001 UK       APPLE
0002 JAPAN    MANGO
0003 NORWAY   GUAVA
0004 DUBAI    GRAPES

aviswam,

If your input is already sorted then you can use the following

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//INA      DD *                                           
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----
0001 UK                                                   
0002 JAPAN                                                 
0003 NORWAY                                               
0004 DUBAI                                                 
//INB      DD *                                           
0001 APPLE                                                 
0001 ORANGE                                               
0002 MANGO                                                 
0003 GUAVA                                                 
0004 GRAPES                                               
0004 PEACH                                                 
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  OPTION COPY                                             
  JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(1,4,A,81,4,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK     
  JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(1,4,A,81,4,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK     
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,12,F2:6,10)                       
//*                                                       
//JNF1CNTL DD *                                           
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,KEYBEGIN=(1,4),PUSH=(81:SEQ=4))
//*                                                       
//JNF2CNTL DD *                                           
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,KEYBEGIN=(1,4),PUSH=(81:SEQ=4))
//*


The output from this is
Code:

0001 UK     APPLE 
0002 JAPAN  MANGO 
0003 NORWAY GUAVA 
0004 DUBAI  GRAPES
