Hi,

I have one file with below layout.

Item Cost

And that file contains same items with different cost.
Now I have to get the sum of cost field for a particular item using sort.
How can I get this?.

Example
Item cost
111 23
111 24
222 12
222 13

now I have to get output file with
Item cost
111 47
222 25

How to do this in sort card

Since the data is in order already, look at using the OUTFIL reporting functions. You''ll need REMOVECC,NODETAIL and SECTIONS with TRAILER3 and TOT. Lots of examples around, and well-documented in the manual.

got it. thanks.
