We got rid of Comparex as well. File/AID has given us a way of pinpointing our compares so that our output reports a more focused. The formatted (using data maps or copybooks) output makes the report easy to use AND we found File/AID performed much better in terms of CPU because it did a lot more filtering before the compare process.
We made some significant savings by making this decision. Regards. Simone. IT - Finance Division.
