Would it be better on the first pass do sort on name ascending major; date descending minor? Then the DEDUPE second pass would be almost trivial. Could MERGE EQUALS be used for the second pass? Will MERGE operate on a single input file, or would it require SORTIN02 DD DUMMY? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
