First sort the both files through JCL or internal sort.
Then follow below logic in the program.
Read file1
Read file2
perform until end-of file1 OR end-of file2
if file1 = file2
write a matched record to output
read file1
read file2
end-if
if file1 < file2
read file1
end-if
if file1 > file2
read file2
end-if
End-perform.
