Y'all
I find the delta compare (similar to CODE/400 with red and yellow highlights to show comparisons) serves me better than the side-by-side compare - there might even be a 3rd kind. There are times when the delta compare gets confused, but it is really good for code reviews, in my experience.
The iSphere compare IS the side-by-side, I just checked. One thing it has is a more comprehensive way to specify members, it also seems to have a 3-way type to allow saving results into a 3rd member - just surmising on that one.
RDi used to be limited on the Compare with..., that we had to select 2 members, then take the option. It now has compare with prompt, and that one is similar to the iSphere type.
Nice to have several options, isn't it?
Cheers
Vern

Hi Steve,
The delta ICON compare is the older style LPEX compare.
You want to use the newer Member compare added back in 9.6 stream.
You can Click on the member in either the RSE Tree view or the Object Table view and select Compare with menu option.
This member compare should be more what you are looking for.

I am doing a source compare on two members.
I have not used this feature in RDI before so maybe I am missing a setting or something.
If I click the next difference button, it does not show anything being different.
If I scroll through the source code, it has code displayed as red in the old member that is NOT in the new member.
I would have expected it to show that this code is missing when I clicked on the next difference button.
Is there a good guide on how to use the compare feature?
