You could run ISRSUPC in batch for the compare, but you indicate you know that. //SUPERC EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC, // PARM=(DELTAL,LINECMP, // '', // '') //NEWDD DD DSN=SYS4.TSPSFC.CLIST(NOTAVAIL), // DISP=SHR //OLDDD DD DSN=SYS4.TSPSFC.CLIST(NOTFORU), // DISP=SHR //OUTDD DD SYSOUT=(*) //SYSIN DD * CMPCOLM 1:71 /*
You say the user wants to ignore the date field, but get an indication the files are alike except for the date field. Confusing. Wouldn't SUPERC without any SYSIN give the user that?

One file should have the current date (YYYYMMDD) in columns 72-79 of a 406 column record, but the other should have a different current date in the same format. My user would like to not just ignore these dates, but have something that shows him that the two files are identical, except one had 20080603 and the other had 20080602 (or whatever) for the dates. I'd just exclude those fields, and use TSO to exclude exceptions, but I'm not the user.
