#1: Syncsort Problem Author: ranjit2705, Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2003 3:00 pm — I have two flat files which are exactly same (compared in 3.13)....now I am sorting these two files using SYNCSORT. The sort criteria is same for both these files. In this case the two SORTED output files should also match exactly......but when I compare in 3.13 these two are not matching...I am getting few sequence mismatch.....I can't see any reason..can any one throw some light on this.....
Thanks
Ranjit..

Try using the EQUALS keyword in your SORT command.

I concur with Mervyn that option equals is the culprit.so add this line in sort control cards
