Hi,
In IMS DB is it possible for us to do a Group By, like DB2?

Re: Group records for Ouput in an IMS DB.
Did you check the manual? Unless it is recent then the answer is "no". IMS returns one segment at a time although it is possible that with a path call it will return the segments from the path (not sure on that). But it will return ONE target segment so what good would grouping it be?
Regards

Search manual on what? "GROUP BY" is not there, so I assume it's not applicable.
But your reply makes me think, if I need to group by some specific filed from the segment, I'm left to write a bit of program only?
