Lets say the field that holds the value 123 is called CODE
The field that holds the date is called - well - DATE
And the file is called YOURFILE in YOURLIB
You need to create a CTE and use distinct
With DISTINCTFILE as
(select DISTINCT CODE, DATE from YOURLIB.YOURFILE)
Select CODE, Count from DISTINCTFILE
Group by CODE
Order by CODE
Or something like that
You can run
select DISTINCT CODE, DATE from YOURLIB.YOURFILE
By itself to see what happens
