No it won't.  Here's an explanation of the problem

ltpbetalde
A
B
C

ltpbeta
A
D
E

A would still be a duplicate.  DISTINCT would only reduce errors caused by
ltpbeta
A
D

RE: sql insert






How about using the DISTINCT keyword on the SELECT statement?  That will
avoid duplicates.

Subject: sql insert

I am trying to insert records into a 400 file which has the UNIQUE
keyword.
I am inserting using a select statement which will generate duplicates.
The
way it is currently working the insertion stops after the first
duplicate
key error. Is there any way to have it keep on going. There are more
records
that I need to have inserted.

.01 c/EXEC SQL 
.02 c+ SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL NC 
.03 c/END-EXEC 
.04 
.00 c/Exec SQL 
.00 c+ insert into testle/ltpbetalde 
.00 c+ select * from fsgenfil/ltpbeta 
.00 c/end-exec 
.00
