Hi,

There are two files like

File1 file2
acc bal acc bal
1 256 2 555
3 254 3 254
4 259 4 315
5 658 7 586

now i have to compare these two files on the basis of "acc no." such that the new file should contain all the "acc no." except those whose whole data is same.

can you help it out?

Hello Sahil Mohta and welcome to the forums,

Near the top of the COBOL part of the forum is a "Sticky" that contains working sample code for a 2-file match/merge.

With minor modifications, this code will work for your requirement.

Go to the Sticky, right-click/save as the code and put it on your system.

If you have questions, post them here and womeone will be able to help.
