It is a good idea, if this was long term. File was prepared using
spreadsheet, then imported and finally written to a file which has a unique
key restriction. Having the process fail at an earlier point would save
some frustration. But, this is somewhat a short-term thing as data on the
i gets removed as part of "decommissioning" of the i.

Betreff: Re: Locate duplicate accounts in a file

ORDER BY turned out not to be essential. Only five records to deal with.
Definitely nice to know the proper syntax, especially if there had been a
lot more to deal with. Not sure yet, but the duplicates >might< have been
there due to a field that had been forced to a number 1 - a cycle count.
File was prepared elsewhere.

Thanks.

Subject: Locate duplicate accounts in a file

I have a file that is supposed to have one record per account number.
There is at least one duplicate account in the file.

I'm thinking there is a simple(?) way to locate the duplicates with SQL.
But, I am missing something.

I have select siacct, count(siacct) from spbsobdp group by siacct
order by siacct

Which produces a nice list. How can I change the output so only those
records with count > 1 show?

My first thought is to redirect to a file and then query that. Is
there another option?
