How to rmeove duplicate code which occur in same record

Postby rizalradzi » Fri Mar 26, 2010 7:49 am

Hi all,
I have input data as below:
KEY1|D8D8D8A8A9I1NNF8A7R2I1NNF8|
KEY2|I1NNH3I1NNH3|
KEY3|I1UPW3I1NNH3I1NNH3I1NNH3|

and the require output is:
KEY1|D8A8A9I1NNF8A7R2|
KEY2|I1NNH3|
KEY3|I1UPW3NNH3|

The input file is VB:
01 INP-DELQ-REC.
02 I-AA-NO PIC X(4).
02 FILLER PIC X.
02 I-REASON-CODE-ALL PIC X(1001).

The I-REASON-CODE-ALL is an occurance of a sets of 2 Char Code (variable length) and will end with pipe "|".

The logic is, I need to remove duplicate 2 char code (in I-REASON-CODE-ALL).

Pls help.

thanks.
Rizal.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

What have you done so far? Where are you having problems?

We will help you get this done, but we won't do the work for you.

Suggest you consider creating an array in working-storage to hold the unique values. Then, using reference modification, move each new unique value into the array.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.
