Answer / sathya

we can get the duplicate records alone in the dataset using
sort utility.

//SORTTA EXEC
PGM=SORT
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(29,9,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE,XSUM
/*

//SORTIN DD DSN=…,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=…
//SORTXSUM DD DSN=…
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*
//
The XSUM control statement is used to create
The output file with the duplicate records alone.

Yes. Please check the sample job step below:

//STEP025 EXEC
PGM=SORT
00000450
//SORTIN DD
DISP=SHR,
00000460
//
DSN=PFC2.CP000000.GLOB.FFB.C22300D6.G0003V00
00000470
//SORTOUT DD DCB=
(BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS,LRECL=16,RECFM=FB),
00000480
// DISP=
(NEW,CATLG, 00000490
//
DELETE),
00000500
//
