What sort of output do you want from your compare? If you just want to know if the two files have identical contents, then the UNIX cmp command will tell you that. If you want to compare what would be logical records on z/OS, they you'll need to write a program to do it. If it were me, I write it

Eliminating duplicates gives A B Eliminating all duplicated values is a different and rare requirement. Eliminating duplicate values ordinarily means that if there are d = 1 instances of a value v in a list, file, whatever, then d - 1 of these values v are eliminated. John Gilmore,

John, Sort, at least on distibuted platforms, enables you to compare in a JOIN like syntax where you can decide to keep OUTER (of the join) only. If all records are duplicated, you'll get an empty file. else you'll get 1 or more records in the outer condition. So, if the files goes to Unix, sort
