How to compare two members in two differnt PDS using COBOL

Postby ARUNGRULZ » Sat Oct 31, 2009 6:55 am

I want to compare two different members (but of the same name) which are in two different PDS. Can we do it through a cobol pgm (or any other)? Please let me know

Why wouldn't you want to just use a normal SuperC compare (ISPF Option 3.12) instead of creating your own process?

Hello,

Maybe a bit of elaboration will help. . .

Show a bit of the data from the 2 members and how you want the compare to work.

SUPERC 3.12 (or the same process) in batch may be able to do just what you want.
Hope this helps,

If it was 1 or 2 members , I can use Super C and all, but if there are thousands of members to compare, how to do that in a single batch program?

Hello,

I must be misunderstanding something. . .

Once the process works (superc or cobol), the time needed to identify thousands of members would be the same either way would it not :?

If you use spuerc and compare entire libraries, there should not be so much identification/selection time spent.

As i said - i may misunderstand.
Hope this helps,
