Hi All,

I am having a flat file as in below format where its holding a key value in first 10 bytes. For Each key value there will be chance of 1 or 2 Records followed by 99 series and 88 series. in some scenarios for a key field same time stamp got recorded which is creating issue while pulling based on ( key + timestamp ).

I want to filter out the records which key field is having same time stamp.

I am using DFSORT as below
SORT FIELDS=(1,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=()

Whats to give in () to filter the same time stamp fields. Can Some one help here how to approach this.

Thanks,

your explanation is clear as mud ...

show what is the expected output data
for the the input data You posted

and use the code tags to keep data aligned

Do you want to SORT the records? You have duplicate timestamps across keys. Is that OK?

Hi All

I want to write the records to separate file which have duplicate timestamps across keys.
Input file:
