David,

I would create a separate table for each library and then do an exception join. The general approach works with one table though.

Try something like this.

With TESTFILES as (
select file_name as TestFile from dspfdoutput where library = <PREFIX>FTEST)

Select file_name from dspfdoutput exception join TESTFILES on file_name = TestFile
where library = <PREFIX>F
Order by 1

HTH,

Rick

Hi all,

I have several libraries named <PREFIX>F each having a duplicate library named <PREFIX>FTEST.

All files in library <PREFIX>F SHOULD have a file with the same name in <PREFIX>FTEST. However, there are imperfections and now many files don't exist in the library <PREFIX>FTEST.

I have a file named DSPFD resulting from DSPFD *ALLUSR/*ALL to work with.


I want to list the missing files from the libraries named LIKE '%FTEST%'
