Hi Michael,
I'm not that familiar with all of MARCEdit's capabilities, but if you're
searching for duplicates of subfield a in the 245 field, then you might
want to export records as tab delimited files into a spreadsheet format
with the 245 subfield a as one of your fields, then sort by this field
using your spreadsheet's sorting functions to get the titles to line up
in alphabetical order. If you have two separate files you might need to
do this twice and do a side by side comparison. It's a little
cumbersome, but probably something a student worked could accomplish
without too much trouble.
Hope this was helpful.
Best of luck,
Dennis
