We are using ICETOOL to convert the three digit code to four digit in database or a flat file processing.

Let me explain the scenario..
The fourth digit we are including is a check digit so we manually give the corresponding four digit for the particular three digit value.
ICETOOL performs it by changing the three digit whereever in the file to four digit.

But for testing purpose and the input/Output file is a Huge one, we are not in a position to compare comfortably.

Do you have anyother option to compare these files once after code is converted.

Using FILEAID i tried to compare, but it is difficult to find the missing records and wrong ones.

You can use SUPERC utility to compare.

or alternatively

Yeah,

Thats the problem. Because of big big files with millions of records i need a suitable way to test it.
Am not unit testing it. Neutral

surendar,

Code a sample job with few records and check if the results are correct. Also as hariavinash mentioned you can run superC in batch mode to compare the results just on the field you have changed.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
