Answer / nnn
First sort the both files through JCL or internal sort.
Then follow below logic in the program.
Read file1
Read file2
perform until end-of file1 OR end-of file2
if file1 = file2
write a matched record to output
read file1
read file2
end-if
if file1 < file2
read file1
end-if
if file1 > file2
read file2
end-if
End-perform.

Answer / soumya santosini patnaik
first load the files in shorted order after that code a
matching program. in the procedure division check the file1
entry with file2 entry if file1 entry = file2 entry then
then write to o/p file end-evaluate esle check for file1<
file2 (if yes then the pointer is brought down to the 2nd
rec of file1 and checked with 1st rec of file2 when the
para is performed for 2nd time),if the above condition is
false then it checks if file1>file2 if yes then pointer is
brought down to the next entry of file2 and checked with
1st entry of file1 with 2nd entry of file2 in next perform
and the process is done till the end of records.

IN COBOL
IF FILE1>FILE2
READ FILE2
IF FILE1<FILE2
READ FILE1
IF FILE1=FILE2
WRITE FILE3
READ FILE1
READ FILE2.......
IN JCL
//XSUM DD DSN=XSUM.MATCH
//SYSIN DD *

Answer / sreejith
firt read file1 move each record to table. at the end of
file1 start read file2. for each record read from file2
compare that record with all the elements from table. if it
match write that record to the output file. same procedure
follow for all the records from file2

Answer / kalone
First load both the files into 2 arrays and then sort them
on say ASC criteria and then take the first element from 1
file and compare with the element of other file , if
matches write into Outfile ,like wise we can keep on
reading & comparing till we get all the matching values in
the outfile.

Answer / michar de papachuil
This might help you here but you have to Sort the two files
first before doing the match.
IF File1 = File2
PERFORM 2400-MATCH-BOTH-FILES THRU 2400-EXIT
PERFORM 2100-READ-FILE1 THRU 2100-EXIT
PERFORM 2200-READ-FILE2 THRU 2200-EXIT
ELSE
IF I-GROUP-SUBSYSTEM LESS THAN I-MODULE-SUBSYSTEM
PERFORM 2600-UNKNOWN-FILE1-VALUES THRU 2600-EXIT
PERFORM 2100-READ-FILE1 THRU 2100-EXIT
ELSE
PERFORM 2500-UNKNOWN-FILE2-VALUES THRU 2500-EXIT
PERFORM 2200-READ-FILE2 THRU 2200-EXIT
END-IF
