I have two sequential files, FILE-1 and FILE-2. FILE-1 contains 2 columns(A,B) and FILE-2 contains 3 columns (C,D,E).I want an output file, FILE-3 which has all five columns with duplicates eliminated from column A.
if i am reading a file with some 50000 records and moving to a DB2 table and suddenly the program abends in between, is there anyway i could restart from the exact record at which the job failed once the program restarts.
