RE: SCOMPARE substitue for comparing RPG source.

The CMPPFM command is part of the File Compare and Merge Utility (FCMU)
which, as the name implies, has the merge capabilities you describe for the
unix diff command.  I used it a few times several years ago.  FCMU has its
own manual (SC09-1772-00), and describes how to make it work.

One advantage of using the diff command on unix is that you can save the
output as above and then use the patch command later to put back the
customizations on the new source code.
