No i faced this scenario while validating 2 big files. Size is around 1.5 gb each.

I tried to sort each column at a time and cutted 1st few rows and tried to find the mismatch column. It taking to much of time.

I am using AIX nd shell s ksh.

Header lines are same in both files but sometime i should face files without header.(objective is to find mismatch column no.)

Values differ in few lines.

The scenario i am facing is should compare two files and find in which column records mismatching and should justify the reason so i need find the column names.

If i found the columname i will sort it out easily by job design in ETl tool.
