Thanks Vern....yeah, PRPBHNODUP is empty before the INSERT statement.

I wonder if I'm doing this wrong...I still have dups, though the record
count is less in the INSERTed into file. Is there a way to only insert one
record where key values are duplicated? Like only the first customer record
if there are multiple customer records (same customer number key) in the
file.

INSERT does not clear - are there records in PRPBHNODUP already? If so,
you have a couple options - DELETE from PRPBHNODUP first (or CLRPFM) or add
a WHERE clause to the subquery's SELECT that checks for existing records
based on whatever columns are pertinent.
