Hi,

Please suggest how can I do a line compare on two files with record length of 900. After comparison, I want to write the mismatched records in an output file of same length. I am using 3.13 option in ISPF to do the compare but it is only producing an output file of 133 LRECL. How to get a bigger length?

ISPF 3.13 may not be the best way to do this (SORT would be my first choice); however, look at the ISPF User's Guide manuals for the various options allowed in 3.13 (one of them extends the 133 size to a larger number but I don't recall the maximum allowed).

I think we can not do it with ISPF as I read that the maximum length to be compared is 205 and defalut is 133. I'll choose sort.

Thanks for the reply.

SuperC allows you to compare specific columns, so you can do it in several passes.

Thanks but will that be acceptable in production?
