Need your help as It is urgent required for my project. icon_rolleyes.gif

I get file from my upstream which contains data of fixed length.
I want to create other file , which will eliminate all duplicate records taking key as starting position = 1 and length =10 .
That key should use first 10 column for search for duplicate.

If I use sort fields = ( 1,10,CH,A) SUM FIELDS=NONE then as it takes first 10 column as key to find duplicate in whole file , instead of that I want , key should use only 10 column of file to search duplicate!!

Input :
12345678901234567890
56789678901234567890
12345678902162061853
12345678901234567850
34545678911234567890

current output :
12345678901234567890
12345678902162061853
12345678901234567850

My Expected output :
12345678901234567890
56789678901234567890
34545678911234567890

Hello,

Move the SUM FIELDS to the next line. It is being ignored. . .

With this input:
Code:
12345678901234567890
56789678901234567890
12345678902162061853
12345678901234567850
34545678911234567890
and considering only first 10-digits as key to eliminate duplicates, you'll get:
Code:
12345678901234567890
34545678911234567890
56789678901234567890
and not what you show. In the output I show, 2nd and 3rd record are shuffled with each other compared to what you show. So, what do you want?

JCL Forum is NOT my "domain", DFSORT Forum is. I always try to make sure that posts in the DFSORT Forum are answered. I sometimes post in the JCL Forum.

Hi Dick ,
Looking at your catch , I suggest ,you should learn Gilli-Danda to know what is exactly catch means icon_lol.gif .

Hi Anuj,
Can you give me sort card which will only eliminate duplicates in the first 10 columns of file.

Sort Card that i have used:
SORT FIELDS=(1,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE

Here , it is using first 10 columns ro remove duplicates in whole file ?

What do you mean by this? Your sort will remove duplicate keys in pos 1-10 as shown above by Anuj.

If that is not what you want show some example with input records and the expected output.

Sorry for giving incorrect information.
SORTIN file is in VB format and SORTOUT file is in FB format.
To get expected output , I should used

SORT FIELDS=(5,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE

Sorry guys for wasting your time icon_cry.gif

Well, you're not making much sense, Naren.

In your first post, You showed us some sample records from input - I, for one, will pick them up as in-stream data for SORTIN (or IN) and will try to get a SORT card on the fly to get the expected-output. In-stream data will be treated as FB/80; so yes, it was incorrect information since start.

Also, you did not notice the other post of mine in this thread which talks about the order of records. I'm not sure if you got it really working for you or not but I was thinking that you might need to use EQUALS possibly, per the output you show.

Just an aside, EQUALS will keep the duplicate records in their original order, but will not keep all of the records in their original order. For that, you need two passes over the data. Though it can get site-specific but I thought it's worth mentioing about it here.
