Its not an one time activity , we are doing it as a part of regression testing. Actually we have done a manual comparison all those years using 3.13 and identified the mismatch record and do the comparison manually. Since we have all the record layout in place. But now we are planning to automate it. I hope cobol program is oly soln.

Do both the Unstring and make each field one by one compared.

Can you please explain me how to unstring the copybook and do the comparison if possible.


If you are doing this comparison activity as part of your regression testing I don't understand the need to write a cobol program for it. Instead you can go for fileaid comparison in batch mode if the files are very huge.

In Fileaid all the changes are detected and any mismatch will be recorded. There are different modes of comparison in Fileaid like R - read ahead Sorted and 1 to 1. You can select mode based on your need.
