Answer / ganapathi

I thing that is not correct.SUM FILEDS = NONE will just
ignore the duplicate records.
For acheving this situation first we need to sort both the
files based on the key.Then we need to compare both the
files based on the key.If it is matches fine else write the
key in to another file.

Answer / rajendran

Append 1 to the first file to the first position
Append 2 to the second file to the first position

Now SORT both the file records with option to sum on the
1st character.

at last the odd man record will be the one whose first
character would be "2" for all other it will be "3".

Please let me know if I went wrong somewhere.

Answer / prasanna kumar

We can do this by external SORT in JCL
//SORTIN DD DSN=ABC.FILE1 ( that contains of 100 records)
// DD DSN=ABC.FILE2 ( that contains of 101 records)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=ABC.NEWFILE
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS =(1,4,CH,A) (jst to retreive data in sequence)
SUM FIELDS = NONE ( That eliminates the duplicates and
retrieves the data which is odd in both the files and write
in sort out file)

Answer / kamal

Hi Presannakumar,
We can't compare two files in dfsort.so u first u merge two files and using dfsort in dfsort some fields equal to none means its coming avoid the duplicates,so we can give extra xsum the particular extra record will store xsum dataset.
sync sort we can esily match.

in cobol program matcing logic program we can use and find.
read 2 file at end.
if eno = eno1
move eno to eno3
write rec
if eno > eno1
perform first-para read
write another file
if eno < eno
perform second-para read
write another file.
now the particular record presend in another file.
