Re: Compare source in WSDCI 5?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You got some good replies already. Let me add my own.

There are at least 2 compare tools in WDSC. One is the native Eclipse 
tool, which has a few problems, including that it compares the entire 
record, including sequence number and change date, IIRC. This one is 
activated from RSE by selecting the 2 members, then right clicking, 
move over the Compare... item, and select the only option to compare 
with each other. It's a text compare, and, as I said, sequence number 
and date are included. Makes it pretty useless.

The other is what someone mentioned - open a member, then click on 
the delta (triangle) on the upper right. you will be prompted for the 
member to compare to. The original member is displayed with unchanged 
areas in normal display, changed areas in 2 colors - yellow for the 
original, pink for the one you selected. I have yet to find or be 
told how to copy from the pink into the yellow. Some IBMer or other 
please help here, because this is pretty useless otherwise.

The CODE compare is better in almost all respects, but don't hold 
your breath to see that in RSE. That is not based on knowledge, just 
long disappointment with some things, yet I know that budget matters. 
So, I don't know.
