Post some sample input data from both files and the output you want when the sample data is processed. If either or both files may contain duplicates, include these in the sample data.

Post the "processing rules" for getting from the input to the output.

You will probably want to look into using your sort product to match the files.
Have a good one

Hello,

Which part about the request to post some sample data for both files and the desired output was not clear? Which part of the request to post the processing rules was not clear?

The sample data does not need to be "full width" only enough to show some keys and other data and the output you want from the sample input data.
I have writen a code for comparing two KSDS files, but it is wth the field name, but i want to compare the two files based on the KEYS
Why will this code not work using the keys?
