Sorry all, I had difficulty expressing this problem so I'll try and rephrase it.


My programme creates an XML file. It is called by a generic calling program that figures out which program to call and thus which XML to create.


The caller writes my XML file to a CLOB field in a table MyClobFile and deletes the original XML file.

In my test library, MyClobFile is copied to MyClobFile_Saved at the end of the test.

If I now modifiy my program, I will want to compare the new MyClobFile with MyClobFile_Saved.

How do I compare these two tables and thus detect the differences in the XML that is saved in the CLOBs?



I will probably separate my programme from the caller and compare the XML files manually. However I'd like to be able to automate that as well. Is there a way of comparing 2 XML files line by line other than copying them to PFs and comparing these PF's?

Thanks.
