[SOLVED]Comparing two hold files

Hi,
I have two hold files with same structure. i.e. Number of columns and data types are same.
I want to write a procedure which basically compare the data in b/w two hold files and highlight the difference if any.
I was wondering whether it is feasible to achieve this functionality in webfocus or not. Please advise.

Thanks.

You can use MATCH FILE hold syntax. It'll let you compare columns (with the same format) in any data type and capture the rows depending on what you want to see.

Agreed, MATCH on the Keys and compare the no key fields in a DEFINE or COMPUTE
