RE: Retrieve only Distinct Record from 'flatfile' Source

Create a Variable port for all the input port and keep them in a seequence that the variable ports will access first after the input port. Then compare the same variable ports in the ouput port along with the key columns. If there is any duplicate records found then FLAG it with X . So that in this way we can eliminate the duplicates from the flat. file.

Hope this will help you.
