RE: Compare Physical File Member (CMPPFM)

["Tyler, Matt" <mattt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a good way to truly compare two source members that may changes that
are not significant for comparing.

Use a omit member like the following...
NCHGT  x'22',' ',1:6         
OCHGT  x'22',' ',1:6         
NCHGT  'H*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'H*',' *',6:7         
NCHGT  'E*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'E*',' *',6:7         
NCHGT  'I*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'I*',' *',6:7         
NCHGT  'C*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'C*',' *',6:7         
NCHGT  'O*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'O*',' *',6:7         
OCHGT  'ENDIF','END  ',28:32 
OCHGT  'ENDDO','END  ',28:32 
OCHGT  'ENDCS','END  ',28:32 
OCHGT  'ENDSL','END  ',28:32 
NCHGT  'ENDIF','END  ',28:32 
NCHGT  'ENDDO','END  ',28:32 
NCHGT  'ENDCS','END  ',28:32 
NCHGT  'ENDSL','END  ',28:32 
NCHGT  'CSR','C  ',6:8       
OCHGT  'CSR','C  ',6:8       

Then create a PDM user option like...
/* Campare RPG members  */ ? CMPPFM ?*NEWFILE(&L/&F) ?*NEWMBR(&N)
OLDFILE(WFISRC/&F) OLDMBR(&N) PTTYPE(*CHANGE) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
OPTION(*RPGSRCCOL *OMTDUP) STMTFILE(PGMT/SRCMAT) STMTMBR(OMTRPGSRC)

                                                            
Make changes according to the use for RPG III or RPG IV.

The manual is File Compare and Merge Utility  (SC09-1772-xx)

Check for unprintable characters.  Sometimes people stick hex values in the
first five positions of the record to change the color of the line.

You should probably dump the records from each source member in hex and
compare them.
