Re: Best Way to find duplicate records in same file

You can also use OPNQRYF/CPYFRMQRYF to do this (one-time approach):

OPNQRYF FILE(YOURFILE) KEYFLD((KEY 1) (KEY 2)) UNIQUEKEY(*ALL)
CPYFRMQRYF OPNID(YOURFILE) TOFILE(UNIQUEFILE) CRTFILE(*YES) MBROPT(*REPLACE)

Now UNIQUEFILE has the unique records based on the keys given.

HTH,
Michael
