Compare two files and set return code

ekalavya · New User Joined: 27 Oct 2006 Posts: 1

I have two files, File1 and File2. Each contain one record each.
I have to compare record from File1 and File2 using JCL, and If File1 record is greater that File2 the JCL RETURN code should be 4 else it should be 0.

Description:

File1:
199999999

File2:
299999999

Compare File1 and File2

If File1 > File2
Then
set RETURN-CODE to 4
Else
set RETURN-CODE to 0
End-if

Please help me how to do this using JCL(DFSORT or ICEMAN)

Thanks

SUPERC sets its return code based on its findings.

Hi !

And here's a little JCL example using SUPERC

//SUPERC EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
// PARM=(LONGL,LINECMP,
// 'NOPRTCC',
// '')
//OLDDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HUGO
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PETRA
//OUTDD DD SYSOUT=*
