Subject:      Large dataset
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

  I have a dataset containing 16 million observations
of account numbers plus 10 other variables, I need to
sort it by acct# and remove the duplicate account#
records.

What is fastest way to do this?.

PROC SORT with NODUPKEY is draining all my resources.

Any other efficient ways to do this.

TIA,
Jeff
