Vern, that's a real sore spot with me. No, I do not want to "trim" every source I want to compare to. However, issuing a trim did cause the Compare to say there were no differences.

This goes back to my complaint (ahem, RFE) about how I don't care about trailing spaces, I have no use ever for trailing spaces (at least I haven't in my past 17 years of this) and that RDi should not bother me with them.

You could try the "trim" command in RDi at that command line you get to with the escape key - do that in each source member, then compare.

It's not just that line. I only copied that line as an example.
It's every single line in the source.

When I copy a source member to a new source file, it has trailing blanks. For the line I gave screenshots for, I see these in hex in the copied version of the file as x'40'. In the original source it has no blanks so it doesn't have the trailing x'40'. However I'd expect those to be ignored.

I was going to suggest what Jon suggests as well.
Is it possible that this line is using the hex 22 or similar to highlight the line?

If so, then there is an open APAR that discusses this: SE63293

Have you tried looking at the lines in hex? Only thing I can think
of is that there is an “invisible” character in there. I think on
some versions of Windows they no longer show up as blobs.

Kurt,

I use the ignore trailing spaces. Not sure if that is your issue or
not,
but thought I would mention that....
windows>preferences>LPEX Editor>Save
o ignore leading blanks
o Ignore trailing blanks (checked)
o ignore all blanks
o Ignore case (checked)
o Ignore comment
o Ignore sequence numbers (checked)
o Column restriction comparison

PS. Since RPG is case insensitive like VB, I also turn on the ignore
case too. <grin>

It looks like RDi has a new drop-down to select which type of source
compare to use. In my case, both IBM i Member Compare and Text
Compare show differences when there are none.
Here is an example a line that is the same in both sources, but the
source compare is telling me is different.

I'm using RDi 9.5's latest test fix from 11/19.
