Good afternoon, friends! I thought this should be easy, but I can't get started with this.
I have one "transaction" file that I need to add to 3 different "master" files. The master files are in 3 different sequences, so I can't just sort the trans file and MOD it to the end. Also, because I don't know which day of this week the file will come in, I need to run this every day, and so need to also drop my duplicate entries, as I know the trans file is unique. Can this be done in a single sort step? For the sake of argument, assume these sorts: File1 - sort Char data in cols 10-15 File2 - sort Char data in cols 73-81 File3 - sort Char data in cols 40-47 Each file, when master & trans are combined, will all have the same data, just in different order. Thanks for directing me!
