Hello,

Looks like the web page is not using a fixed font even in code sometimes.

Both of the x'4F' characters should have the | over them. . . Bummer.

Maybe we'll hear back from TS as to what the data really is (or what the code is that we may see why the IF is not working). The good news is that the hex values do line up and the "funny little values" won't have any impact on the compare.

Hello everybody,

Apologize me for the delayed response.

I tried moving both the values from file-1 and file-2 to a working storage variable of same level. I moved both to a 77 level variable with PIC clause as X.

I am not sure how it worked for me.. My IF condition is working fine now. I still dont understand what is the difference between moving a variable and comparing them at different level.

Just an info -

I browsed the spool to see what is displayed in SYSOUT. It was different from what is in file (3.4 view), But when we compare the HEX values between the spool data and 3.4 view data, both are same.

I suppose this is because they are non displayable character and so they are displayed differently in spool and 3.4 view.

Thanks for all your suggestion.. You ppl were really fast to help me..

Cheers,
Neo
