Re: Best Way to find duplicate records in same file

Anyone remember control levels? The cycle? Perfect use for it. Put L1 on all the fields. If L1 is *OFF, delete the record. Use primary processing - not full-procedural. Get a taste of how easy it used to be.

The "Geezer" strikes again!

I'd pick some logical file, any logical file, for that physical, so long as
it included all fields.

I'd define a data structure externally.  I'd define a field New data
Like(The Data Structure) and eval it as equal to the new record..

Then I would use the key to do setll/read loop while the key is unchanged.

In the loop if the datastructure equals the new data field, then I'd process
my duplicate record subroutine.
