Hello, Terri:

Query/400 has:

Type of join . . . . . . . . _ 1=Matched records 2=Matched records with primary file 3=Unmatched records with primary file

So, if you have Query/400 (WRKQRY) and are familiar with it, this is pretty easy to do.

And you can then use RTVQMQRY to retrieve the SQL equivalent from the *QRYDFN object to see (roughly) how to do the same thing in SQL.

(Unless you really wanted to write a program to do this.)

Cheers,

Mark

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a 'modern' way of doing matching records. MR seems to be the way to write the program I am designing, but it has been years since I did one. I am building two work files, and need to print any differences, or if there are any missing in either file. Just wondering if there was a better way.
