Why not select?

select
when *INMR and FILE1DS = FILE2DS
* (do nothing)
when *INMR
write MR_Diffs
when *IN01
write NMR_01
when *IN02
write NMR_02
endsl

Isn't that about all of the choices that there are?

See my message to Joe. A select is good, but your first two whens
need *IN02 so that they don't execute when a record has been read from
the primary file but not yet from the secondary file. Your third when
needs AND NOT *INMR so that it doesn't execute on the primary when
there is a matching record in the secondary file (since those will no
longer be caught the preceeding whens with *IN02 added). I prefer the
way I did my select as shown in the message to Joe.
