Hi,

I am running SUPERC utility ( compare utility ) in batch mode.
My file size is 1000 bytes.
Superc's comparision is only showing me diffrences upto 133 bytes.
I also tried incresing the size of output to 1000 bytes, but still superc is showing the diffrences upto 133.

Can anybody please advise how can I see the comparision upto 1000 bytes ??

Hello Carol and welcome to the forum,

If memory serves (and as was posted earlier in the topic) 1000 bytes cannot be compared/displayed with SUPERC.

Are you with DoA, AHCCCS, ?

Hi Dick

I figured this out. We cannot change the output but I can copy the
load module using iebcopy, then scan it with a program to get what I
need. Thanks for your reply.

I work for the Office of Administration for the State of Arizona. We have an old mainframe system called AFIS that does all of the states accounting.

I am trying to automate some auditing process that we do by viewing the load modules and looking for dates. It will give you the member that was changed within a specified date but the dates and time of the last compile are always in different locations. Surprisingly it works alot but misses modules (dah! unformatted dataset). I am amazed it works as well as it does. ( I was trying to fix it so it worked all the time)

Thanks again....

carol

Hi Carol,

You might also look at a program called AMBLIST.

Code:

//AMBL      EXEC PGM=AMBLIST
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=SYS1.LINKLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//MYLOAD   DD DSN=THE.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD *
 LISTIDR DDN=MYLOAD,MEMBER=THEMEMBR
/*


If you do not specify a member, i believe you will get the whole library.

There's a sample output at this link:

Hi Dick

I got a
AMB121I INVALID CONTROL STATEMENT -- PROCESSING TERMINATES

Is the command LISTDIR instead of LISTIDR. What is this anyway?
A have never heard of it. Where do you work?

Thanks,
Carol

OK, found info thanks to google. AMBLIST is a utility that allows you to look at the internals of load modules, object code and special areas within load modules and link pack area. Thanks a bunch.....this will do the job.

Sorry, but I do not think the dates are necessarily accurate. If someone is doing something nefarious, then that is one of the first things that will be spoofed.

Make sure only trusted individuals can update important datasets. Some datasets need to be read protected.

I am not sure how you would find unauthorized changes to key datasets.
