For closure: Howard sent me his input data offline. With this more
extensive set of input data, I was able to see more clearly what he was
trying to do. He had non-duplicate records in his input file, which I
hadn't realized from the smaller input sample. That meant he needed to use

The quickest wayI know of is to split the file into 2 files one
contain the 'L' and another that don't.
sort both removing duplicates ( are there multiple ''L' records?)
then merge the files removing duplicates and put the 'L' records first.

Why not just change the sort statement from SORT

I need to eliminate duplicates - with column 21 not being part of the duplicate
check, but with column 21 sorted anyway - so that the last duplicate is
dumb way without using merge
1. sort using your control cards but add INCLUDE to get just the 'L'
2, second sort using same control cards with include anything not 'L'
3. concat 'L' data first other second
sort with your control cards and specify OPTIONS EQUALS which will
keep the 'L' s first

I'm not sure. It would have helped if you'd answered the question I asked:
Are you looking for L specifically, or L because it collates after '*'
or what?
If you want the 'L' because it collates after the '*', then this

I suspect the latter.

Oops. Yes, it should have the USING(CTL1). Just a fingercheck.
