RE: Comparing objects

[Geert Van Landeghem <gvl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What kind of objects do you want to compare?
Compilable object (*MODULE, *FILE, ...) or all kind
of objects? You could start by having a look
at the QUSROBJD api which allows you to retrieve
a lot of information about a given object.
If you want to compare compilable objects you
could use above api to compare creation date, source
last change date etc. I'm also using CMPPFM to compare
the sources of two given 'compilable' objects.

Hope this helps.

Is there an API that could tell me if two copies of an object were created
as duplicates or not?  Is there anything else that is unique to a "version"
of an object?  The number of bytes would probably be a close indicator, but
I'm afraid to trust just that.
