No need for temp files:
527 $ cat compascii
#! /bin/sh -x
CCSID=IBM-1047
iconv -f iso8859-1 -t $CCSID "$1" | (
iconv -f iso8859-1 -t $CCSID "$2" | diff /dev/fd/0 /dev/fd/3 ) 3<&0
528 $
It might be possible to use BPXWDYN to allocate OLD and NEW for ISRSUPC
to file descriptor files. In my (long ago) experience, ISRSUPC accepted UNIX
files for OLD and NEW, but not for DELTA.
