Compare one pds with other and give the comparison result

Hi,

There are 100 members in two pds. I need to compare one pds with other and give the comparison result for each and every member individually.

For instance, if A is the member in both the PDS, the A should be compared and its results should be logged in Userid.A.Compare.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks & Regards
Rehana

Hi,

If I understood correctly...Go to ISPF 3.13 and don't provide any member name on "New DS Name" and "Old DS Name"; hit enter - if you want to select specifc members - select them else select all (S *) . . .

Anuj -- that puts the results into one file; the O/P wants each compare to be output separately.

Anuj,

Yeah i need them in a seperate output files. In 3.13 we could get the comparison result in one file only.

Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks & Regards

**sigh**

you can parse the foreground output file (view the output file, don't browse - option in foreground mode) and use a REXX Macro to parse the output and CREATE the separate files.

you can parse the background output file probably with DFSORT, since the title line changes for each program.
