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.

Answer Posted / gech

How do we merge without the defining the key?
is this just 1 is to 1 and all 5 fields are to be the key
to determine the duplicate?
so therefore my answer is "the question is incomplete".
