Re: Need Help

This is a perfect setting for Matching Record indicators.  Just mark the
fields in your I lines that you want matched and the records will be
retrieved in order across all files that are marked to be matched. Ties
will be broken in order of listing in your F specs.

Now all you have to do is set Record Indicators, and your problems become
trivial.

Hello,


I am looking for some advise.  I am working on a project, this project

requires that I compare records from 2 files.  File A and File B.  File A

is the primary file and File B is the secondary file.  I need to compare

the records that are in File A to the records in File B.  What I am

having a problem with is if there is a record in File B that is not in

File A I need to know that.  I Was going to read File A and chain out to

File B to see if the record exists in File B.  I am having problems on

how to determine if there is a record in File B that is not in File A. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
