Nag,

Your example is too evasive.
Do you have duplicates in both files ?

Please give a concret example

Nag77,

Your requirement is simple, but it has quite a few complications.
1. First we need to know what sort product do you use (Syncsort / DFSORT)
2. The version of Sort product
3. Data stored in these two files - does your input files have any duplicates.
4. What is the key field position.
5. LRECL and RECFM of input files ???

Anyway, lots of queries are already posted in this board on similar requirements. Please search before posting. Check the FAQ pages.
