| Hi,
I have a requirement
File A : I have 6 records out of which 4 are same.
File B: I have 8 records out of 6 records are same.
The 4 records in FILEA and 6 records in FILE B are same. If
we substract we will get two records, I need these two
records in output file
This is because to remove the duplicates from the database.
Through easytrieve we can compare but for that there should
not duplicates, but in my file I have duplicates.
Thanks in advance!! | | 2 |
