yes i got the way to find the max , but for the first 8 chars do we need to use the SUBSTR for sql, but in COBOL pgm what we need to give?
The first 8 character should be same and maximum of 9th and 10th character |

Hello,
How many different "first 8 character" values will be processed in one query?
If there will be more than one, you should show a better set of sample data. . . |

| yes there will be more than one , so just we need to compare the data that is given say if there is '12345678' or '87984743' like that many number of part names, based on that we need to check the condition and check the max. of the remaining other two alphabets . |

I think this is what you mean:
| Code: |
SELECT * FROM your.table
WHERE NIK = (SELECT MAX(NIK) FROM your.table WHERE NIK LIKE '12345678%') |
NB: query not verified. Please double-check. |

I MIGHT BE WRONG, just asking
can the group by and the max be applied together with the substr ??
something along the lines of
| Code: |
| max(substr(nik,9,2)) group by substr(nik,1,8) |
approximate syntax  |

It would be better if you can explain your requirements better ... probably with some some samples and the desired output ... with the sample that you have given now there is only one NIK id ... Probably what you are looking for is the IN predicate ...  |

looks fine
you could just say (= same thing)
| Code: |
| max(nik) group by substr(nik,1,8) |

My first answer is : your resignation, because anyone with basic SQL knowledge should be able to solve that himself. (=correlated subquery)
My second answer:
| Code: |
SELECT * FROM your.table A
WHERE NIK = (SELECT MAX(B.NIK) FROM your.table B WHERE B.NIK between substr(a.NIK,1,8) and substr(a.NIK,1,8) !! x'FF') |
you can just compare substr(), but between is indexable. |
