Re: Locate duplicate accounts in a file

Such a simple concept. Not having much need for SQL ( sinking ship here),
that did not enter my mind to even look. Then, again, not sure if v5r4 has
that, and another person is actually editing the file now. But, I am going
to try this on a fresh copy of the file.

Thanks Rob.

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?
