... The Idea assumes that a new %COMPCORR built-in function would

return *ON or *OFF, but I think it would be more useful if it returned -1,
0, or 1.

-1: (ds1 is less than ds2)
0: (ds1 is equal to ds2)
1: (ds1 is greater than ds2)

But that would make it impossible to use the function like

if %compcorr(ds1:ds2);
...

If a %COMPCORR built-in function returned 0 for "equal", then you would
code

if %compcorr(ds1:ds2) = 0;
// all corresponding subfields are equal
endif;
