Compare 2 master files contains ODG

Hi! Can someone tell me if there is any tool I can use to compare two master files which contains ODG (means the length of fields may be different depends on the ODG value.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Catherine and welcome to the forums,

ODG - Occurs depending on groups?

Will the records to be compared be the same length even though the length might vary within the file?

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, ODG - Occurs depending on groups.

The length of each field is varied. First few bytes are reserved for ODG, and it interpreted the length of that field.

Ecomp can handle that.

Hello,

Have you tried "SuperC"? It is usually option 3.13 on the tso/ispf menu.

Give that a try and if this will not do what you want, someone will be here.
