Compare records with same key

Postby cuautli » Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:54 pm

Hi,
I need an output file with only one registry per key with two values
pos 2: 1 - When the input register contains the values 101 or 103 or 104
pos 3: 1 - When the input register contains the values 109 or 108

Input File
A107
A108
A109
B103
B104
C109

Output file
A11
B10
C01

Can you help me?
Thanks
cuautli

NO :mrgreen:
Your terminology is confusing
the output is not consistent

Hello,

Mr. Sorichetti, the TS has worded the post poorly, but looks like below is the requirement:

For the below input data:
A107
A108
A109
B103
B104
C109


The first character, A/B/C - in this case - act as the primary group item; program needs to test whether the remaining 3 characters fall under: 101/103/104 OR 109/108.

If the input characters fall under 101/103/104, then the second byte in the output needs to be 1; if the characters fall under 108/109, then the third byte of the output record needs to be 1; hence the output form:


<Group-element><data-bit 1><data-bit 2>
A11
B10
C01

Except why is the output A11? There is no 101, 103, or 104 for the A -- so why is the output not A01? As was said, the output is not consistent with the stated requirements.

Mr Aki88 review the output and meditate please

the TS told nothing about what should be done with the other byte involved

when checking <byte one> of the result file the same decision will be taken for the A and B records
and the A and B record are in different sets in the original input
cheers

Hi,

There are two groups of values G1={101,102,103} and G2={108,109}

When a same key has only values from group G1, the output record must be K10
When a same key has only values from group G2, the output record must be K01
When a same key has values of both groups G1 and G2, the output record must be K11

I have a long solution
1. Build a file with keys of group G1
2. Build a file with keys of group G2
3. Matching Records + Non Matching from both files

But perhaps there is a better solution.
