Subject: comparing fields (serveral hundred)

i have a program where i need to compare the fields from 2 files. They are identical. Rather then having to code each field, is there a better way to do this?

I have my files defined as follows:

D FILE E DS ExtName(FILE) inz
d prefix('G')
d F_b ds likeds(FILE) inz
d F_a ds likeds(FILE) inz
