Re: Comparing data in two tables

MR is Matching Records. Very usefull when reading 2 sets of punched
cards, or even reading a disk file and punched cards.

You define one of the files as "Primary" and the other(s) as "Secondary"
and the cycle read them in the right order. MR is set *on when the
records in the files match, otherwise it is *off

What is MR?

For some visual reference here is what I am looking for:

This is what I need to make sure is true.

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5
04 16.0

The problem is when

Table 1
02 1.5

Table 2
02 1.5
04 16.0

or when

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5

or more so when

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2

I have two tables that I need to compare to make sure the values
match. For context, one is the employee's time sheet and the other is
a table to holds their requests. Each has a time sheet code and a
number of hours. My plan was to compare by summary to see if they
match. However, I am having problems getting my logic to work
perfectly every time. Without me posting my code (it is becoming a
mess quickly anyway), how would you approach this?
