unfortunately your question makes no sense. If the GRP value does not determine the CMOD and DMOD values, which one of the rows with a given GRP value do you want? If there is an aggregation function that can sensibly be applied to CMOD and DMOD, you can do a group by query select grp, f(CMOD), f(DMOD) from TABLE group by grp where f is the aggregation function (sum, min, max, etc)
