Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : IDENTIFY DUPLICATES ONLY

IDENTIFY DUPLICATES ONLY

The IDO command creates a set that contains only the records that are identified as duplicates, and sorts those records so that the duplicates are grouped together.

IDO entered without a set number defaults to the last set created.

You can use the IDO command to check the results of the duplicate detection process. If you are ever concerned that the REMOVE DUPLICATES command may inadvertently remove unique records, use the IDO command to first scan the records that are identified as duplicates. Occasionally, you may find columns or series of articles that are consistently published under the same title, on which the citations are similar enough that the articles are identified as duplicates.

You can also use the IDO command with the FROM option to identify duplicates FROM particular files (e.g., IDO S3 FROM 2,6,8).

Note: If you apply the IDO command to a search that includes one or more files that do not offer duplicate detection, a system message will notify you of that fact. Dialog will then process the remaining files that do offer duplicate detection. Records from unsupported files will not be retained in the IDO set. A list of files not offering duplicate detection can be obtained online by entering HELP DUP.
