Hi
I have developed one program based on an existing program. Now I would like to compare these two set of programs to know what changes are done.
Can you please help me how to proceed further?

Hi Sri,
Thanks for your reply.
But I am getting results as follow... Actually I couldn't see the difference as it shows some Hex values.

Sample result from the o/p:

95: 0 a01 ?WS-MAP-SAVE. a05 ?WS-MAP-ACCOUNT-NO iPIC X(08). a05 ?W
-ID iPIC X(40). ?*?| ?COPY DER620M. | ?COPY DER620CO. | a01 ?MAP-D
eFILLER iPIC X(12). a05 eFILLER hPIC X(7). a05 ?MAP-DTM9102-DATE
a05 eFILLER hPIC X(7). a05 ?MAP-DTM9102-HEAD1 iPIC X(37). a05 eFI
). a05 ?MAP-DTM9102-TIME hPIC X(8). a05 eFILLER hPIC X(7). a05 ?
EAD2 iPIC X(20). a05 eFILLER hPIC X(7). a05 jMAP-DTM9102-USERID h

Your PDS members may be PACKED.

To check, edit a member and type PRO (or PROFILE) on the command line. If the profile says PACK ON, that's probably your problem.

Copy the members to new members, but on the copy panel, select default rather than packed at the bottom:

Pack Option
1. Default
2. Pack
