Re: What are ways I can use SQL and system commands to compare...

I think you are thinking of someone else. And, in any case, I have learned quite a bit from Dave (and the other, too!). In fact, I'm off for two weeks at Christmas, and I've got a note to read (and hopefully learn) the Rexx manual, which Dave is so high on. I've already skimmed it and decided that a more in depth reading would be worthwhile.

I attended COMMON for years (still do) while working on a S/34/36 when the only technical sessions were on the AS/400. I was able to port several of the concepts to a system that, supposedly, couldn't do them (such as subfiles). The point being that there is much to be learned. I used to think that the S/36 was a heck of a system, and it was - for its day. The i5 is at the stage that it is because people said, "Why can't it do...?"

Sorry Vern, no offense intended.
After reading a number of Mr. Odom's posts, I just call it like I see it.

He has little respect for our platform and livelihood...

OUCH!!! Do we really need this kind of disrespect here? I've disagreed with Dave but have always found him to be thoughtful and respectful in our conversations.
