In order to merge 2 input files in a cobol program, do they have to be identical files? If they share a common field is that sufficient?
 
What do you mean by identical file. It depends on the meaning of merge in the particular context. Suppose you want to merge two files into one with the records sorted on one particular field. Then they must have that field common to them. <br><br>Does this answer your question ?<br>Thanx<br>Siddhartha Singh<br><A HREF="mailto:ssingh@aztecsoft.com">ssingh@aztecsoft.com</A>
