all you need to do is reformat the files to be of the same layout

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Idushkin,

It's not clear what you want to do. Do you want to compare the records one-by-one, but the key or in some other way and what do you want to do if the fields compare or don't compare? Please show an example of the records in each input file and what you want for output, and explain what you want to do. Also, what is the RECFM and LRECL of each input file?

Check the process options for SuperC (part of ISPF). It lets you select different parts of records from different files to be compared.
