> I would like my program to delete duplicate records in a file.

This is what I would do

1) FMTDTA/OPNQRYF/logical file to put the records in order
    by the whole record.
2) Program describe the file and put L1 in the Level break column.
3) NL1, delete the record.

An alternative is to read every record and CHAIN to itself to see if it's a
duplicate.  You can use a logical with a different name from the physical
but with the same key.

Something to get the discussion started.
