Sorry I haven't uses EXISTS before.

Todd caught something I had missed in the UNION command. By default it removes duplicates. That makes this entire task very easy if you instead want just the complete list of records with no duplications

SELECT * FROM c1 ;
UNION
SELECT * FROM c2 ;
INTO CURSOR c3

But if this isn't what you want, I think you will compare all of the fields.
