I'd like to create a compare job that will compare two files.
One file should have the current date (YYYYMMDD) in columns 72-79 of a 406 column record, but the other should have a different current date in the same format. My user would like to not just ignore these dates, but have something that shows him that the two files are identical, except one had 20080603 and the other had 20080602 (or whatever) for the dates. I'd just exclude those fields, and use TSO to exclude exceptions, but I'm not the user. Any simple solutions? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
