(Cross posted on Midrange-L, RPG400-L, & MI400) Has anyone invented this wheel? I'm looking for a way to compare source members on different systems to determine whether or not they are identical - Yes or No. If different, I don't care how different. Because I don't really want to save & restore whole source files between two systems, my thinking was to create a hash code for each source member based on the contents. Create a file with fields: Library Name, File Name, Source Member Name, Hash Code. FTP the file from the system A to system B and compare the two. I'm fairly confident that the two source files are identical, but I need to be sure. Is a hash code generator what I'm looking for here? Feed in Library/File(Member) and get back a 16(?)-byte hash code? If so, does anyone have one that runs on V3R2? - Dan Bale (I am *NOT* "Dale" http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200105/msg00281.html ) SAMSA, Inc. 989-790-0507 DBale@SAMSA.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur. (Whatever is said in Latin seems profound.)
