Hello,

I am using IEBCOMPR for comparing two PDS.But compare results are getting in HEX values.So How can I ignore the HEX format in the results.

I need a compare like same record format in the PDS members.

000100 //IEBCOMPR JOB (EWDS),'COMPARE TAPES'
000300 //STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBCOMPR
000400 //SYSUT1 DD DSN=SM017R.TEST1.JCL, --> PDS being compared
000600 // DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
000700 //SYSUT2 DD DSN=SM017R.TEST.JCL, --> PDS being compared
000900 // DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
001000 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
001100 //SYSIN DD *
001200 COMPARE TYPORG=PO
*/

Do I need to include any options for avoing HEX format?

Please help me on this.

Thanks,
Santosh.

Topic moved, as it was originally posted in the DFSORT forum.

Why not try using ISRSUPC - Option 3.12 or 13 from the main ISPF menu

Yes we can use 3.12 also but as my client requirement is to use IEBCOMPR only.SO please suggest if have any option for avoiding HEX display in results using IEBCOMPR?

Thanks,
Santosh.

After a lot of Googling and manual reading (which you should have done yourself) the answer is NO. If you want it in plain text form then you will have to take the SYSPRINT and convert it yourself.
