				| I have two files 
 
 
 File A - LRECL=250,RECFM=FB
 
 ----+----1----+----2
 
 ********************
 
 ABCD000000047700012
 
 NPTQ000000047700012
 
 ASRA000000047700012
 
 BECC400124431800001
 
 CASA000128559000001
 
 
 
 File B - LRECL=250,RECFM=FB
 
 ----+----1----+----2
 
 ********************
 
 ABCD000000047700012
 
 NPTQ000000047700012
 
 ASRA000000047700012
 
 
 
 Output file should contain unmatched records between File A and File B
 
 Key fields for comparison starts in position 6 of both files and of 9 characters
 
 
 
 Is this possible using DFSORT?

				| Piscesian, 
 If none of your files have duplicates on the key , then you can use select operator with nodups which will eliminate all the matching records from the both files.
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
 //TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
 //DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
 //IN       DD DSN=Your input file A,DISP=SHR
 //         DD DSN=Your input file B,DISP=SHR
 //OUT      DD SYSOUT=*
 //TOOLIN   DD *
 SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(6,7,CH) NODUPS
 //*
 | 
 
 If your input does have duplicates , then use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results.
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
 //SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
 //INA      DD DSN=your input FB 250 byte file A,DISP=SHR
 //INB      DD DSN=same input FB 250 byte file B,DISP=SHR
 //SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
 //SYSIN    DD *
 OPTION COPY
 JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(6,9,A)
 JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(6,9,A)
 JOIN UNPAIRED
 REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,250,F2:1,250,?)
 
 OUTFIL IFOUTLEN=250,OMIT=(501,1,CH,EQ,C'B'),
 IFTHEN=(WHEN=(501,1,CH,EQ,C'2'),BUILD=(251,250))
