I need to compare 2 files.for example
File 1:(Key 1 to 4)

2222BBBBBBB
4444DDDDDD
File2:(Key 1 to 4)
11119998
22229999

Output:read record from file 1 and compare with file 2.if matching found then pick 5 to 8 posion value from file 2 and replace in file1(position 1 to 4)

It's not clear if you've described your requirement completely. I don't want to give you a solution and then have you come back and say "but that doesn't take care of this situation" (which you didn't tell me about).
What is the RECFM and LRECL of each input file?
Does every key in file1 have a match in file2 as shown in your example? If not, please show a better example without every key matching.
Can input file1 have duplicates within it?
Can input file2 have duplicates within it?
If either file can have duplicates within it, please show a better example of input and expected output including duplicates within that file.
Also please run the following DFSORT job and show me the //SYSOUT messages so I can tell what level you're at:

Code: Select all
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
