Records mismatch while sorting in MPRAS and SunOS - UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

RRVARMA · #1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2008

Hi,

As part of migrating a script from SunOS to MP RAS, the following script is not functioning in desired way.

Code:

sort -t\| -u +6 -7 +12 -14 textfile1.out > \
        textfile2uniq.out

The -u is fetching unique records differently on SunOS and MP RAS Pentium IV. And thus the records are mismatching. The file "textfile1.out" is same for both OS.
I'm not supposed to change the fields that is being sorted.

Could anyone please tell me how to get out of this problem. Atleast give me some clues.

Thank you,
RRVARMA
