Re: Compare for large RPGLE source members.

Brian,
Thanks for the tip. I just might give this a try to see if it does any
better.

I have a large source member - 13000 lines. I want to compare two

use the RSE Compare because it chokes saying it is too large. Is there

a

utility that will do a compare of a large source like this? Besides, I
find the RSE Compare to be highly unreliable when comparing source

members

to begin with. Whitespace in one member can be confusing for the

compare.

Poor RSE has to make-do running CMPPFM remotely... not an optimal
solution,
especially compared to the markedly superior compare experiences to be
found
in the Eclipse-hosted compare utilities. One of those is found in the i
projects view. Download the two members (select 'make available offline'
from the context menu), select both in i projects view, select 'compare
with>each other' from the context menu. Note the options available here
include ignore white-space, and can be applied while viewing the compare
result, with instant update of same.
