We have two output files, rather huge ones (rather gigabytes than MB's)
with LRECL~1500, FB.
The goal is to compare them and find different records.
While I have some ideas how to do it (even ISPF Compare or ICETOOL) I
don't think it would effective.

You can set EQUALS as default at the installation level for DFSORT. There
is a slight overhead with EQUALS option which increases the time needed for

These are on z/OS in Unix Systems Services, the logs for the IMWHTTPD web

someone said the access method will deal with the Unix-to-record stuff. I

Charles,
