I have two tables I need to reconcile.

One table has the master records. What I need to find from these two tables are any records in the master file that are not in the secondary file. And report them.

Any Help,

If you do a search on 'missing data' you will find that this has been discussed before and that the solution is there. You just have to read the posts.

TRY match with your hold being old-not-new

Are your tables FOCUS files?

If so, you can JOIN the master TO ALL the secondary.
SET ALL=PASS
Then TABLE FILE the master
issue an impossible IF or WHERE on a field of the secondary, e.g.:
IF secfield EQ 0
IF secfield NE 0

You will get all the records form the master with no corresponding secondary

They are SQL Files

It sure seems that MATCH FILE would do the trick, as PB mentioned… If you cannot do that on the original source files, then do the MATCH FILE on extracts of the original source files.
