What about using the "hash" function:

Do something like this and store / compare the hash value:

select *hash*(
cusnum ||
lstnam ||
init ||
street ||
city ||
state ||
zipcod ||
cdtlmt ||
chgcod ||
baldue ||
cdtdue )

Is there a simple way to compare records in a file?
I need to find where a field changed and was wondering if there is a way
using SQL to identify changes?
I need to search several thousand records for where a field may have
changed.
I am harvesting the journals we have on all files.

Hoping I do not have to write code to achieve this.

TIA, Darryl Freinkel
