Can I use COMPARE in command line to get a result which just has comparison from column 1 to 71? I know how to do it in 3.13, but not in 3.4 command line.

Thanks!

Sure you can.

When you execute the ISPF Editor Command COMPARE, ISPF invokes SUPERC in the background.

As with SUPERC, you can provide your process statements (like CMPCOLM) in SYSIN.

For more information, please refer to the fine manual.

Cool - I never knew this.

BUT - I see no way to specify columns to compare. I tried setting the bounds (line comand BND), but the compare ignored that.

You'll need to use SUPERCE with a Stateents DSN containing

If it is a case of line numbers in the columns 72:80 you could just issue run a RENUM (to ensure all lines have numbers), then UNNUM (to clear all the numbers.

Guys, I gave you all the clues:
1. Create a dataset which contains only one record, with the following data in it: CMPCOLM 1:71
2. Allocate that dataset to SYSIN.
3. Go into ISPF Editor, then type COMPARE SYSIN.

Hi O

I have followed your clues step by step, after I enterd COMPARE DSNNAME SYSIN, something strange happened, all my keys are not working anymore, such as PF3, F12, ENTER, then I had to shut my session down and re-startup.

Do you know why this happened?

Thanks
Galen
