IMO before offering any advice I would need for Dave to clarify some ambiguity in his question.

Dave:
Do you want to /replace/ the matching-record logic program with a SQL file comparison, or do you want to only replace the OPNQRYF step in the job with SQL ?

If you are trying to go pure SQL to join and compare the files, having duplicate keys in the files will be a problem.

Use a Common Table Expression to order file 1 in the preferred sequence,

is mapped into two data structures then make comparisons between the
two data structures ?

Hi all,

I want to compare two files : the results of a test against the results of the last test. We have an old home utility that generates an rpg matching record program. When there are key fields in both ascending and descending order, we use opnqryf in a clp that calls the rpg to temporarily reorganize the files so that matching will work.

How could this be done in sql?

Thanks
