There is a program from the contributed library named
FILECKD that does this.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Removing duplicate lines from file


Hi all,

Brain isn't in gear today. What's the easiest way of removing duplicate
lines from a standard ASCII file ? File is sorted but looks like.

Line 1
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 4

etc..... But I want to remove any duplicate lines.

Can't think this morning unless I knock something up in JCL to read the
input of each line then read the next line compare the 2 and if different
post to another file....

TIA

Nige...
