Example 2

Assume two files – a check register (described above in Example 1) and an application report containing the total sum value based on a bank statement report. We need to verify if the total sum is correct. Only the check register needs to be reconciled. Therefore, the preparation stage is performed by the SETKEY function that describes the record layout of the check register.

Note: Either the WRITE function or the SETKEY function can be specified for the preparation stage. Both functions cannot be specified during the same reconciliation process.
