| It is two different files. Sub1 and sub2 read from 1 file for 10
rcds and then closes the files and goes on to the next sub? If I have
two different filehandles pointing at two different files, why would I
have to do a s ? I am just trying to read two text files at the same
time and determine if key fields are equal or not. If not, then
determine the lower of the two, add the numeric field, read the next rcd
from this file and go back to top of the loop again and start the
compare process over.
If you have any problems or questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
Wags ;)

What you describe should be possible.
How are you relocating the file position to the correct place in the
file, when you wish to re-read the data after the first time? Does the
subroutine use s(), or is it the caller's responsibility?
