Compare a column in one table to the number of entries

Hi,

I have two tables. I must compare a column in one table to the number of entries in the other under the same Identification number.

Eg:

Table 1 has a value of 5 under "col A" for a particular record.
Therefore table 2 must have 5 rows with the same ID number as the table 1 row.

Now using a join I have listed all the rows which have mismatches between Table 1 & Table 2.

Eg:

Table 1 has a value of 5 under "col A" for a particular record.
Table 2 has ONLY 4 rows with the same ID number as the table 1 row. Therefore this is a mismatch and the output file displays the ID number of the mismatched row.

My query is how do I generate a count for the number of mismatches?

Help would be appreciated :)

If i understud correctly table1 has id A and val as 4 so in table 2 there has to be 4 rows of A and you want this A to be displyed if no of rows in table2 is not 4 right ? if yes then
