Hi Barbara

Just wondering, for comparing several subfields individually, which is what I think this would be, what defines less or greater? I can see some subfields less than, others greater than.

But I do like some kind of comparison like this. I'll check out the Idea - don't know if we've run across it yet in the CAAC AppDev subteam.

Cheers
Vern

There's an Idea that would help with comparing data structures:
https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-1376

It is suggesting a compare-corresponding built-in function.

The Idea assumes that a new %COMPCORR built-in function would return *ON or *OFF, but I think it would be more useful if it returned -1, 0, or 1.

-1: (ds1 is less than ds2)
 0: (ds1 is equal to ds2)
 1: (ds1 is greater than ds2)
