Yes, this can be done using a sort product and has already been asked very frequently, so you should be able to search the forum to find some really good examples on how to do this.
This is a link to the DFSORT smart tricks documentation which has many examples of matching records.
Please click HERE to access it.
Because the solution for sort related questions may vary from product to product, please ensure that you state clearly which sort product you are using.
If you are not sure, then by running a simple sort step shown below, you will be able to find out for yourself.
If the messages start with ICE then your product is DFSORT. Please also post the output of the complete line which has a message code ICE201I, as this will enable our DFSORT experts to determine which release of DFSORT that you have installed. This may also affect the solution offered.
If the messages start with WER then the product is SYNCSORT and should be posted in the JCL forum. Please also post the information telling which version of SYNCSORT is installed, as this may also affect the solution offered.
Thank you for taking your time to ensure that the valuable time of others is not wasted by offering inappropriate solutions which are not relevant due to the sort product being used and/or the release that is installed in you site.

You also need to provide more detail than you already have -
What is the DSORG, RECFM & LRECL of both File 1 and File 2
Where are the keys located in each file, their length and format |
