Hi Thomas,
The Compare editor doesn't use type to determine if sequence and date numbers are present.
It reads the first 4 lines of code trying to see if they start with numbers and does so using UTF-8, unless the file has a specific encoding set. The code hasn't been changed since 2003.
Could you send me a sample of the first 4 lines? Or is it possible the file is shorter than 4 lines?
Thanks!

Hi,
Why does the compare editor, when launched from the Remote Reconciler
view, include line numbers and dates of remote members for "XML" source
members?
I cannot find any differences in the "Content Types" preferences if I
compare "XML" with "RPGLE" or any other typical IBM source member type.
"XML" is a child of "Text - Enterprise Source Types" and "Text - IBM i
Source File Members". That is the same as with e.g. "RPG".
I assume that "Text - IBM i Source File Members" is the key for telling
the compare editor to remove the line number and date columns.
Regards,
Thomas.
