PROC COMPARE is quite powerful, so I recommend you use that approach.<BR /> <BR /> Scott Barry<BR /> SBBWorks, Inc.

I have got a master file and updated file with different salary, job code, and job description. I noticed PROC Compare procedure being used to perform this operation. Is there other procedure besides this? Any help is greatly appreciated.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks in advance!!
