Suppose, file A has 100 records and file B has 500 records. We
want to write records common to both A and B into file C and
records which are present only in either A or B into another file D.
What should be the logic of Cobol program to achieve this?

correction to #3
sort files Asc
if f1 = f2
move file1-rec to file3-rec. write file3-rec
read f1 & f2.
if f1 < f2
move file1-rec to file4-rec. write file4-rec.
read f1.
if f1 > f2
move file2-rec to file4-rec. write file4-rec
read f2.

If we do not want to go with cobol then it can be easily
done with SORT, ICETOOL( Splice option) which i feel is
faster and simpler instead of writing a compare program.
If there is a compultion to use a cobol pgm then soln will
be -
PERFORM untill (EOF A and EOF B)
if f1 = f2
move file1-rec to file3-rec. write file3-rec
read f1 & f2.
if f1 < f2
move file1-rec to file4-rec. write file4-rec.
read f1.
if f1 > f2
move file2-rec to file4-rec. write file4-rec
read f2.
END PERFORM
IF EOF A and not EOF B
PERFORM until EOF B
move move file2-rec to file4-rec.
write file4-rec
read f2.
END PERFORM
ElSE
IF EOF B and not EOF A
PERFORM until EOF A
move move file1-rec to file4-rec.
write file4-rec
read f1.
END PERFORM
END
note: files should be in sorted order ASC before program
runs.
This is a generic solution to al such compare programs.

Sort both file A and B using the Key in ascending order..
Then read File A and B..
Compare records read frm A and B
If found Equal write into File C (common records)
If NOT write into file D

Answer / hardik dave
Use SYNCSORT and you will get all matching records in one
file and all those non matching records in another. Just
read more on SYNCSORT and you will be clear.
