RE: Match program object to source member; CAN'T use source last update timestamp in object

Thanks for your replies, Gene & Jean-Michel (and all others thus far)

>operationally identical comparison between two program objects
>seems to me too subjective for quick a program fix

Gene, I'm somewhat surprised that you feel this is subjective.  Um, and what
do you mean by a "program fix"?  I'm not "fixing" any apps, just trying to
determine if a given source member would reproduce the "operationally
identical" object, so that I could know which source member belongs in
production.  Please educate me.

>hold them up to the light, and let a person decide equivalence.
How would I even know what to look for?

>I think it can be achieve using old-Api QSCMATPG.
Jean-Michel's suggestion is intriguing (sp?).  Jean-Michel, do you have a
working program from which you'd be willing to share the source code?
