Hello,

I have 2 files, i need to compare and remove the odd value and write to other file.

eg:
file1
aaa
bbb
file2
aaa
ccc
bbb

output should be ccc

i have written the below code :

Select all

Z= 0
ADDRESS TSO
"ALLOC FI(IN) DA('"inp1"') SHR"
"EXECIO * DISKR IN(FINIS STEM INP."
"FREE FI(IN)"
"ALLOC FI(INS) DA('"inp2"') SHR"
"EXECIO * DISKR INS(FINIS STEM INP1."
"FREE FI(INS)"
DO I = 1 TO INP.0
DO J =1 TO INP1.0
FLAG = 1
INP1.J = STRIP(INP1.J)
INP.I = STRIP(INP.I)
IF INP.I = INP1.J THEN
DO

FLAG = 0
END
END
IF FLAG = 1 THEN
DO
OUT.Z = INP.I
Z = Z + 1
END
END
ADDRESS TSO
"ALLOC FI(ERRFL) DA('"output"') SHR"
"EXECIO * DISKW ERRFL (FINIS STEM OUT."
"FREE FI(ERRFL)"

can someone please tell me what is the mistake in this.

for a successful TWO FILES match the files must be in sequence

file 2 is not in sequence , so You are out of luck

why not use Your sort product ( join keys )
search the forum and You will find gazillions of examples

Please learn to use the code tags when posting data, code screen cut'n'paste and anything else requiring a fixed pitch font and the retention of multiple spaces.

This is not a file match it's a two stem load and match stems - if they're in order.
If the files are too large then you're looking at S80A & SB37 type errors.
