3. Check Input File Against Database (manage-36)
Create a table ./xxx01/tab/tab_match_script.ebr containing the following line ...
!1 2 3 4 5
!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>
01 match_doc_gen 1 stop TYPE=IND,TAG=001,CODE=STIDN

... and add the name of the match script when running manage-36.

Output file 1 will contain the numbers of those records that found no match in the database.
Output file 2 will contain the numbers of those records that found a unique match in the database.
Output file 3 will contain the numbers of those records that found more than a single match in the database. This file has to be handled manually.
