Be careful with this - I think
Are the records unique, in the sense of mdvnda & mdmdl
If these are NOT unique then you wont have a one to one comparison from 1
file to the other file and my thinking is that record 1 on FILEA will equal
record 1 on FILEB, but record 2, 3, 4 & 5 on FILEB has the same mdvnda &
mdmdl as record 1 on FILEB, therefore record 1 on FILEA will not equal
records 2, 3, 4, & 5 on FILEB. Therefore the count will be 4.

Now - I've just re-read what I wrote. God I hope that makes sense.

Does this make sense? Is there a better way? I'm trying to find out if
two files are the same. Here's my SQL statement:

SELECT count(*) FROM firstlib/mhrdclp a, secondlib/mhrdclp b where
a.mdvnda = b.mdvnda and a.mdmdl = b.mdmdl and (a.mddual <> b.mddual
or a.MDCMFRT <> b.MDCMFRT or a.MDLP <> b.MDLP or a.MDSF <> b.MDSF)

File MHRDCLP has the following fields:
mdvnda
mdmdl
mddual
mdcmfrt
mdlp
mdsf

I want to see if I have any records that match mdvnda and mdmdl have
any of the other four fields different.

Thanks!
