Yes. You're quite right. I misread the OP's request.

You should be able to just reverse the logic on the exists predicate

The query quoted above seems to select the nearly 22M rows that were not changed by the UPDATE, rather than selecting the several rows in the work-file that did not correlate to a row in the 22M row table.

AFaIK the exception join offered by Alan should have worked, but the following query I expect should also work to select the 11 rows from the work-file that would not have effected an updated row in the 22M production file:

Select b.* from xRouteMax as b
Where not exists
(select 1 from RoutMaxl1 as a
where a.mxplan = b.mxplan and
a.mxdiv = b.mxdiv and
a.mxins = b.mxins and
a.mxben = b.mxben and
a.mxppo = b.mxppo and
a.mxtfrm = 'V' and
a.mxtdt = 0
)

I have two files, one is a work file with 991 records and the other
is a production (Test Environment) file with 22 mil. I am updating
the production records that match to records in the work file.

Here is my sql statement:
Exec Sql
Update RoutMaxl1 as a
Set a.mxUdt = :xDate,
a.mxUtm = :xTime,
a.mxUop = 'CPP989825645KY',
a.mxCpdy = 'Y',
a.mxUty = 'C'
Where exists
(select * from xRouteMax as b
where a.mxplan = b.mxplan and
a.mxdiv = b.mxdiv and
a.mxins = b.mxins and
a.mxben = b.mxben and
a.mxppo = b.mxppo and
a.mxtfrm = 'V' and
a.mxtdt = 0);

The statement runs fine but I only update 980 records, which means
that I have 11 records in table A (xRouteMax) that do not exist in
table B.

Suggestion on how to get a list of those records? I just want the
11.
