Stefan, STCKE is only guaranteed to have UNIQUE within SYSPLEX. So, if the transactions are across multiple sysplexs then you are not guaranteed to have unique values. How about comparing the HEX values of the contents in the INPUT file at position 393 for a length of 8 bytes? Can we eliminate that you do NOT have duplicated data in that position ? Do you have alternate method to compare the results?
