Here I am considering INPUT to COBOL working storage
variable and not from file. (If it is input from file then
answer above by Adithya is right).
01 WS-INPUT PIC X(52) VALUE 'AABBCCDDEFGHIIJ.....ZZ'
05 WS-ALPHABET-INP PIC X OCCOURS 52 TIMES.
01 WS-OUPUT PIC X(26).
05 WS-ALPHABET-OUT PIC X OCCOURS 26 TIMES.
01 SUBSRIPTS
05 WS-SUBA PIC 9(2).
05 WS-SUBB PIC 9(2) VALUE 1.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
PERFORM VARYING WS-SUBA FROM 2 BY 2 UNTIL WS-SUBA > 52
MOVE WS-ALPHABET(WS-SUBA) TO WS-ALPHABET-OUT(WS-SUBB)
ADD +1 TO WS-SUBB
END-PERFORM.
DISPLAY WS-OUPUT
STOP RUN.

We can eliminate the duplicates using sort.
please find the control card for sort.
sort fields = (starting position of field,length of the
field,data type,ascending or descending order)
sum fields=none
