It is indispensible to me when application software sends upgrades, and some of the upgrades are to programs we have modified, so we need to merge the changes. I only wish I had the learning accident before Y2K effort rather than after.
While exploring PDM-54 I found out by accident that it can be used to compare a wide range of objects, not limited to source files ... such as compare test data files, test environment setups (see if some element missing) .... I do not know the limits of what kinds of objects it can and cannot do.
You might try it at the object level. Library: where the object is File: the actual object name Member: any record that is in both copies

It occurs to me that, short of a way to make the determination at the object level, another way would be to copy the source members to compare to a qtemp source file, strip out all comments and run the CMPSRC on that. Better yet, I think there's an "omit comments" option in CMPSRC. O.k., it's all starting to come back to me now. :-| BTW, haven't "seen" you in awhile, Al Mac! Although I had to wonder if it's the same guy; you only gave a two-line response! <g> - Dan
