Welcome!
It’s easier to do it in DFSORT why write program? Besides have you heard of INSPECT in COBOL ?

Next time please use SEARCH function to see if you find similar post to your problem and try yourself first and second use code tags when representing code or data. |

| Depending upon the size of the records and the number of records to be compared, this could be an expensive implementation. It can be achieved by using reference modification since COBOL does not have an INDEX function for string comparisons. |
