Hello,
Depending on how much experience you have, you could write a 3-file match/merge using the A file as the driving file.
If your experience is somewhat limited, you could consider combining the B and C files and cloning the 2-file match/merge tested sample code that is an attachment to the "Sticky" near the top of this COBOL part of the forum. |

| Thanks a lot. I was not thinking in that and trying to compare one file with two files. I got it your point. Thanks for your help and quick response |
