just a side note what DB are using to get the data out of?
I know if you use certain operaters in DB2 you can cut out all the unneeded stuff like column headers I.E.


Code:
db2 -x "select * from your.table"

If you can get your DB to cut out all the crap then all you will have to worrie about is comparing the values and you can throw out the "tail" command.

Just a thought.
