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 ??

thanks,

You can't with SUPERC.

When I was in your situation, I ran SUPERC with one of the UPDATE options, in order to get the exact mismatch position. Then, I read SUPERC's output from REXX and display the actual records.

mainframe_techie,

Why dont you use FileAid's COMPARE option?

I prefer to do it from option 3.13. In 3.13, go to options and select EDIT STATEMENTS. write your matching condition and do compare.

ksk -

I believe the the OP knows about that option. However, no matter how you invoke SUPERC (menu 3.13, batch job, programmatically) - the maximun length of the result is 205 (default is 133).

Ofer,

My solution works if we know which fields are to be checked. and that also should be less than 133 characters.

E.g. If checking field is from position 200 to 255, we can provide this and see. If checking field is more than 133 characters, this solution won't work.

Hi,

I know the EDIT statements option but the problem is using that max is 205 bytes.

We dont have File Aid in out Shop, hence that option is ruled out.

The position in the files can differ which I need to compare.

Please advise in option 3.13.

Thanks,

We use another tool called INSYNC. Its comparision is not that useful.

Thanks,

Hi
can't we use TSO COMP or COMP option in command lime to compare two files irrespective of the total length..
if you want to compare two files.
open file 1 in view mode.
type TSO COMP 'File 2' or COMP 'File 2 ' in command line.

i have tried this one number of times...
cheers

COMP is neither a TSO nor an ISPF command.

O,

I have also used TSO COMP to compare datasets. It is actually a TSO command.
