Compare 2 files with dynamic value for key in Jcl

Post by karthi88698 » Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:41 am

Dear Friends,

Here is my query:
I have 2 files . first file has model code(A13) and n of the Spec codes (A5)( Max no of spec code 39) and second file has spec codes ( only 2 spec codes).

File 1 :
Modelcode1234Spec1
Modelcode1235Spec2
Modelcode1236Spec1Spec2
Modelcode1237Spec1Spec3Spec2
Modelcode1238Spec2Spec3Spec1

File 2 :
Spec1Spec2

O/p File:
Modelcode1234Spec1
Modelcode1235Spec2

Here second file has spec1 spec2 and its needs to compared with file 1 and if there is any non matching record then it should be written in output.

Note:
Im aware of join keys but the problem is the file 1 spec code is dynamic and which leads to key parameters uncertain in Join keys.

like

JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(7,12,A)

Much appreciated your response in advance.

Thank you
