Hi,
My requirement is as follows:
Have to read two files File1,File2
Read an account from File2 and search it in File1.
If this account is not present in File1 then write it to another file.
Can somebody suggest how this can be accomplished??
Apat from a Cobol program

search the forums for ( for example ) sort file match,
You will find many, many examples for file matching situations,
both for DFSORT or SYNCSORT

Or if it's a COBOL problem, there is sticky (2-File Match/Merge sample code ) in the Mainframe COBOL part of the forum -- have a look.

LOL -- that's why I did not like my manager to come to my seat... My instincts just don't listen to me and mind gets switched off...
