Hi All,

Please let me know whether its a good idea to compare two files containing COMP values in it or I should go for COBOL program to compare those files?

Regards,
Smita

Have you tried using the IBM compare utility and seeing what results you get ?

Hello,

If you show us what the records look like and what kind of compare(s) you want to do, we can offer better suggestions.

Please mentioni the recfm/lrecl of the files as well as the relevant fields/positions in the records.
