Description

This command searches for duplicate records inside IPM files.

Two records are considered as duplicates when they contain the same information in their fields except for DE71 (the record number), as the same record can be present in different parts of the file with different record numbers while having the same content.

It is possible that when modifying data from a file (for example importing records) or because of errors when generating the files, some records are included more than once in the same file. This command allows to detect those cases so it can be convenient to include it before sending it to their destinations to avoid rejections.
