Hi All,

This is my requirement , let me know if anyone has a solution for this.

I have 2 input files and I need to compare the total credit amount row in both the input files and if the amounts are matching then I should write the record into the output file as a single row.

INPUT FILE 1

005 CREDIT
010 CREDIT
015 CREDIT
TOTAL CREDIT AMOUNT1 : 123456.78

INPUT FILE 2
001 CREDITS
004 CREDITS
008 CREDITS
010 CREDITS
TOTAL CREDIT AMOUNT2 : 123456.78

OUTPUT FILE EXPECTED

TOTAL CREDIT AMOUNT1 : 123456.78,TOTAL CREDIT AMOUNT2 : 123456.78

Is this possible?
TIA

Tesa

And which idiot PHB has come up with this requirement? What's the flipping use of writing out totals when they're the same?????

Hi Prino,

It's a typo , its actually not* matching.
I need to compare the total credit amount row in both the input files and if the amounts are not matching then I should write the record into the output file as a single row.

The question is not related to JCL, not even a bit.

Hint: read about SORT utilities, DFSORT, and/or SYNCSORT

Neither of them is JCL!!!
