summing positive and negative

[meharbabamusa1]

I have the following file.

KEY1 +200.00 KEY2
KEY1 -500.00 KEY2
KEYA +100.00 KEYB

I need to summup the amount fields if all the other fields are same.
the output file shouldbe

KEY1 -300.00 KEY2
KEYA +100.00 KEYB

Please let me know weather it is possible or not in syncsort.

Thanks,
Mehar

Please let me know weather it is possible or not in syncsort.

I think you will need to convert on INREC with SFF, SUM, and then EDIT on OUTREC.
All is available with Syncsort.

Hello Mehar and welcome to the forums,

The good news is that you can do what you need with Syncsort as CG said.

In order to do so, you need to provide more info.

Please use the "Code" tag above to show some "real" records (not the way you have, but show the data the exact same as the input records). Show what happens when there multiple values for the "second" key within the "first" key. Will the records actually have an embedded + or - sign or are the numbers implicitly signed? When you post the info, please mention the dsorg and lrecl for the files.
