Greg -- define 4 files to the program.  File A is INPUT_PRI and CHAIN_A;
file B is INPUT_SEC and CHAIN_B.  Read thru INPUT_PRI and, for each
record, chain to CHAIN_B; note all instances where no match is found. 
Then read thru INPUT_SEC (if defined as input secondary, RPG will
automatically read it after it's done processing the primary) and, in a
similar fashion, chain to CHAIN_A, noting missing matches.
Of course, old S/3 programmers like me use matching record processing
...  Does ILE RPG even allow this any more?
