Read filea And file b write the same records in both files? Records in a but not in b record in b ..

Answer / ram g

we can achieve this through jcl icetool utility..

but in cobol its not that easy but possible...

consider the scenario...

file 1 file2
5 2
4 1
6 9
1 4

considering this flat seq file:
here the files are not sorted in order and need not be..
so we should take first record from file1 and match with
all the four records in file2 it should continue for end of
file and do the same for file2. can use array logic.
sorting logic in cobol wont be useful here..
