Re: File Compare Routine

In order for DS4114 to get populated, the field names have to match,
including the prefix you added. Try putting a prefix on the FILEB F-spec.

Subject: File Compare Routine


> I am writing a file comparison routine to determine the differences
between two files.  The two files are identical with the exception of the
data.  I am attempting to use external data structures.  FILEA is a physical
file, FILEB is a logical (over FILEX (which is not included in the
program)).  The data structures are described as follows:
>
> D DS4111        E DS                  EXTNAME(FILEA)
> D DS4114        E DS                  EXTNAME(FILEB)
> D                                            PREFIX($)
>
> FILE is read and DS4111 is populated.  I then do a SETLL and READE on
FILEB, the indicator signifies a match, but DS4114 never gets populated.

> I have scoured the manuals, but I do not see what the problem is.  Any
assistance is appeciated.
