Hi Everyone,
When I am copying a member from one of my PDS(i.e ID.name) to someother PDS name(ID.name) and compare the member(program) in 3.13 from TSO option, i.e SUPERC.LIST compare , many changes I am able to see i.e Many Insert and Delete lines it is showing.

Has anybody before come across with this problem, please help me regarding this.

Would you care to show us your listing ?

And have you made sure that you are comparing the correct elements ?
I know stupid question, but ...................

Hi Everyone,
I am copying the same cobol source program from one PDS to another PDS and putting the SUPERC.LIST Line compare then many changes (i.e Inserts and Delete lines) it is showing.

I am also attaching the screenshots for SUPERC Utility Options and LISTING(Line Compare).

at a visual inspection ( browse the two objects ) what do they look like ??

The 2 files are the same size 1 is 586 lines and 1 is 160 lines. One appears to be a cobol source module and the other appears to be a DBRM lib member.

It looks like one of the members has been saved with the option "PACK ON"

when running the 3.13 dialog use the following option
