Re:

I used CMPPFM to compare two spooled files, and was very happy with the
results.  Have you tried using a statement file (parameter STMTTFILE() on
the CMPPFM command)?  Here's a sample:

0001.00 slist on
0002.00 cmpsect cmds btm 'Rel-Dep',58
0003.00 cmpcolm 52
0004.00 omtline '/',5
0005.00 omtline ':',5
0006.00 omtline ':',75
0007.00 omtline ':',8
0008.00 omtline 'Library',4
0009.00 omtline '---',4
0010.00 LSTCOLM 52:190

This example excludes page headings and limits the comparison to certain
columns in one section of the report.
CMPPFM (and STMTFILE) is documented in "File Compare and Merge Utility"
(SC09-1772-00).

Hi all,

This is first time I enter into this field by asking some info. I liked
this discussions prettymuch the way it is organized and sharing of very
useful info. and ideas.
Thank you everybody for your active participation.

My QUESTION is there anyway to compare two spool files?

I got one way, where i can copy it to physical file and use command
CMPPFM, but in this we need to create two falt files and lot of junk
will come if there is any difference.
Can anybody knows better idea?

Thanks in advance
Chandra
