remove duplicate from a file on local
I have a huge '|' separated data file. I want to remove duplicate from Sequential File. The file is on my local machine I donot want to put it on the server. Is there any way we can remove duplicate from a file in local.
There's no way to do that in DOS ("on local") that I am aware of without loading third-party tools or writing C programs and the like.
With PX you should have the MKS Toolkit installed on your 'server' and thus have 'UNIX' capabilities there. Try "sort -u" to get unique records. You'll probably need to tell it what fields make the record unique, otherwise it will consider the entire record when removing duplicates.
