Re: DSPFD

Thanks all who responded,
   
  Iam just interested to compare only format level identifier, I brought the 
two files onto one system by FTP...  I dont want to compare on two AS/400 
sessions going line by line ,
  if there is any difference in format level identifiers of two files it should 
show me the difference upon calling the program, how do I go abuot that?

  Yes, you can safely use DSPFD for both files and write the results in the 
same file. Then you can use a query to list both and see for the 
differences:

DSPFD FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE1) TYPE(*RCDFMT) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) 
OUTFILE(QTEMP/RESULTS) OUTMBR(*FIRST *ADD)
DSPFD FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE2) TYPE(*RCDFMT) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) 
OUTFILE(QTEMP/RESULTS) OUTMBR(*FIRST *ADD)

Just an idea...
