Hi,
I have 2 VB file of same length 284. I am comparing full length of records and trying to get matching and unmatching records using below sort.

Code:

//SYSIN    DD *                                     
  JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(5,284,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK 
  JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(5,284,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK 
  JOIN UNPAIRED,F1,F2                               
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,4,?,F1:5,284,F2:5,284)     
  OPTION COPY                                       
  OUTFIL FNAMES=UNMATCH1,INCLUDE=(5,1,CH,EQ,C'1'), 
         FTOV,BUILD=(6,284)                         
  OUTFIL FNAMES=UNMATCH2,INCLUDE=(5,1,CH,EQ,C'2'), 
         FTOV,BUILD=(290,284)                       
  OUTFIL FNAMES=MATCH,INCLUDE=(5,1,CH,EQ,C'B'),     
                   FTOV,BUILD=(6,284,/,290,284)     
/*                                                 


But i am not getting the expected result.

Input File 1 has 23 records
Input File 2 has 23 records ( Copied file and just changed 3 characters )


Code:

IP FILE : 1

Ø    DEALER                       1235TEST DATAESE2
Ø    DEALER                      O1234SAN JOSE FORD
Ø    MODEL                        S FORD      FOCUS

IP FILE : 2
Ø    DEALER                       1235TEST DATAESE2
Ø    DEALER                      O1234XXX JOSE FORD
Ø    MODEL                        S FORD      FOCUS



In the above files 2nd line SAN has been changed to XXX.

Expected : If do comparison, in MATCH file is should get 22 lines and UMATCH files should get only 1 record

but i am getting in Match file 10 - records , UNMATCH1 - 13 records and UNMATCH2 - 13 records.

In 3.13 SRCHFOR for UNMATCH1 and UNMATCH2 - only 1 line is showing as different.

If so why sort is considering 13 lines as different ????
