Introduction
As time goes by more and more Mainframe Systems are being down
sized to run on PC's, but one of the biggest setbacks are duplicate
records on one file. The JSDDuper utility will simplify the task
of deleting duplicate records from a file and the utility will make a
new file without the duplicate records on it.
JSDDuper Ver 3.0 provides the following features:
1) Input file don't have to be sorted.
2) Faster then JSDDuper Ver 2.1 and under.
3) No more need for a control file.
4) No limit on input file size.
5) DeDupes with or without case sensitivity.
6) For Huge file a fast and stealth mode.
The JSDDuper program must be provided with control information
to govern its execution. This information is read from the command line.
The format is:
JSDDUPER [OPTIONS] <INPUT FILE>,<STARTING BYTE OF FIELD>,<SIZE OF FIELD> <OUTPUT FILE>
Sample #1:
JSDDUPER A:\TEST.DAT,2,6 A:\NEW.OUT
This tells the utility to use the file a:\test.dat as the input file and
the field to check for dupes is starting in byte 2 and the size of the
field is 6 bytes long. Also use the file A:\new.out for output.
OPTIONS
-bz This option will tell the utility that
the input file is not CRLF and
the record length is z long,
also make the output file without CRLF.
-C Turn off case sensitivity.
-s Turn on fast and stealth mode.
Sample #2:
JSDDUPER -C A:\TEST.DAT,2,6 A:\NEW.OUT
This is the same thing as sample #1 but now the utility turns off
case sensitivity.
