2) need to do a sort ( key fields are first and second field)
3) remove all the instances of duplicate records from the merged file and write write all these duplicate instances into one file.
4) rest of the records which are unique in the original source files, needs to be written into another file

outfiles:

file3:
A|123|NAME1
A|123|NAME2

C|123|NAME5

File4:

Please help me with the solution as I am in real urgent. Appreciate your help.

If I am not wrong your each record in file1 and file2 seems to be unique data .I am pointing out the last character of your files.

SO if all data are unique all the records should go to File4 ..Is n't it?
