Hi all,

Please give a solution for this problem.

I have multiple records with two fields.. name and description.
all the records has same name where name is the key.but description part is different.

Record structure look lilke....

David
David
David XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
David
David


Out of these records sort statement must pick only one and the only one should be that with description.

In case if all the records didnt have any description than any one of the record can be put in the output...


regards
Murali

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
David
David
David XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
David
David
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
* Sort descending on description to make it the first record,
* if present.
  SORT FIELDS=(7,14,CH,D)
* Get the first record.
  OUTFIL ENDREC=1
/*
