Now I'm confused, what this compare process uses, SAVF, loaded PTF,
or something else?

The PTF has to be loaded before it can be compared. *SAVF's are
ignored.

IIRC: To be visible for the comparison, either the _PTF_ needs to be loaded [into *SERVICE per Load PTF (LODPTF)], or the Save File must have been ordered _as a PTF_ for which the associated PTF Save File is registered into *SERVICE [e.g. Send PTF Order (SNDPTFORD) where the chosen delivery establishes the PTFs as PTF Save Files]. A Save File that just happens to contain a PTF [e.g. either as an existing save file into which the save-data-records are inserted or as a device file with attribute SAVF that was restored] is not registered implicitly into service; the ordering process has the capability to insert the PTF information into *SERVICE, and I believe the Copy PTF (CPYPTF) does so as well.
