In the above code if i switch the file1 and fie2 position then i get different results.
I cannot post the files due to data sensitivity.
I visually checked the files and i see no special characters or anything.
Is there a special command to verify this.

Appreciate your response.
Patient: Doc, it really hurts when I do that!
Doctor: Then don't do that!

The positions of the files on the command line is important for mapping the fields from one file to the other. Look at your data files' fields - try to see the difference and look at your original posting for the mapping logic.
Good luck.
