It would be nice to have a real sample of the data. Are all groups of same length, how to identify a group (start/end) and so on.

1) Any attempt to try any sample related to your task? - Before asking others to help you.
Nobody is going to do your job for you in full. You are paid for this, but you do not plan even to start working.

2) Please, first of all: learn how to use the Code button when posting at the forum!
Code:
This is my code
This is more code
. . . . . .
Here my code ends


3) Hint: try to read something about
Code:
 SUM FIELDS=NONE

In some cases (likely not your case) the following might be needed
Code:
 OUTFIL ...SECTIONS=...
or
Code:
 OUTREC ...WHEN=GROUP...

Then present here: what you were able to do by yourself?

You need to define your requirements accurately. You say you want to remove duplicates yet your expected output contains duplicates (CCCC). What are your criteria for sometimes retaining duplicates?

Garry.
