There are many headers, In this case only 2 Headers I'm giving. The duplicates only within one header. Header record should not be considered in the sorting criteria.

Thanks,
S1522

I cleaned up this topic so S1522 can start over from the beginning and ask for a proper Syncsort solution.-Kevin.

S1522, we're going to start this one over. I've cleaned up all of the information that's not relevant since you have Syncsort. Could you please post what release of the product you have so Alissa can provide you with a working solution that's compatible?

Hi Subbu,

Is there any particular key field for the records within the Header reocord?

Since it seems to be the entire record itself as duplicate.

It appears that the records are already in sorted order. If this is true, then here are the SyncSort for z/OS control statements that will produce the requested output:
Code:
//SYSIN DD *                             
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                         
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,SECTIONS=(20,16,
    TRAILER3=(1,200,201,200,401,200,601,200,801,200))

Hi Alissa,
This is working but it is getting the last record of the detail if there are any duplicates in detail.

How could I get the 1st record of the detail if there are any duplicates in detail.

Example :

Code:

20100819HEADER 045213004260 00001650N

CURRENT OUPUT
Code:

I don't have Syncsort but just throwing out something. Try to use HEADER3 instead of TRAILER3 and see if that works.

Thanks,

I have verified and using the below sort. The Header record is also considered in the SORT. in my case the HEADER records should not be considered in the SORT.

Code:

//SYSIN DD *                             
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                         
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,SECTIONS=(20,16,
    TRAILER3=(1,200,201,200,401,200,601,200,801,200))

Please help me.

Here is a SyncSort for z/OS job that should give you the requested output:
Code:
//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                     
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SORTIN  DD *

Hi Alissa,

I am getting the same problem by using the code you have suggested.

Header record is considered in the sort criteria. One of the HEADER record got deleted while writing to output.

HEADER record will have a word HEADER in the record (Pos 9-14) and it should not be considered in the sort criteria.

Thanks,
Subbu.

Try changing the OUTFIL statement as follows:
Code:
OUTFIL INCLUDE=(1001,1,ZD,EQ,1,OR,9,6,CH,EQ,C'HEADER'),
  BUILD=(1,1000)
