I have a file with over 18,000 stop off points, They are grouped according
to the pro number and stop off number:

Pro: 198756
Stop: 1

Pro: 198756
Stop: 2

etc.

Within each set I have a field that is used for billing purposes:
BillPnt

Now, all the lines should have the exact same bill point value, it is a 3
alpha field, it can be blank as well.

I need to select all the records where the value is different from one
stop off point to another grouped by the pro number.

IE:

BAD
Pro: 198756
Stop: 1
BillPnt: 707

Pro: 198756
Stop: 2
BillPnt: *Blank

GOOD
Pro: 205478
Stop: 1
BillPnt: 200

Pro: 205478
Stop: 2
BillPnt: 200

I need to capture in a new file just the Pro number for those that have a
mismatch IE: BAD.

I can group the records, but I'm not sure how to structure the sql
statement for the comparison....

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
