So you want the output file to contain the records found in one input file but not in the other input file - right?

What are you comparing on - the entire record (up to 200 bytes) or the first n bytes (what is n) or what?

Is the length of the 1's record 17? If not, what is its length?

Is the length of the 5's record 18? If not, what is its length?

u can write a small file balancing program (B LINE logic)....it will be the easyest way to do.....before using the files (ie.the two files used as input to program) it should be shorted.....
