The missing elements on the left edge were recognized by the
additional two lines in my draft. But not the missing elements on the
right edge. This is true.

However I would not use the histogram function to overcome this. I
would go a more easy way, which I expect to be both, faster and less
memory consuming. It is only a little change to the code above:

A = [309, 313, 318, 322, 327, 331, 336, 340]
B = [305, 309, 314, 318, 323, 327, 332, 336, 341, 345]
diff = 2 ; offset between integers
temp = value_locate(A,B)
missloc = where((B-A[temp] gt diff and A[temp+1]-B gt diff) or $
a[0]-b gt diff or $ ; elements on the left edge
b-a[n_elements(a)-1] gt diff, $ ; right edge
misscount)
if misscount ge 1 then print,b[missloc]

Good luck again, Heinz
