This is impossible. The decision must be made in advance to determine what a particular value should be or how it should be interpreted. There is no software (or healthchecker) that can take the place of actually looking at a value and assessing its use/value
There are no silver bullets It actually has to be known what has been specified, why it was specified and how comparable it is to other definitions. This notion that systems can be set up in ignorance cannot occur and suddenly have the knowledge be magically available. If this could be done by software then one doesn't need systems programmers Adam -Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2021 9:16 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How to compare parameters in one z/Os with parameters in another z/OS Isn't this pretty much what NewEra's IMAGE Focus does? You need "PARMLIB intelligence." You can't just do a character compare. For example you have to understand which PARMLIB statements are statement order independent, and which are not. I think that is what IMAGE Focus does.

Once this is completed then you can evaluate whether parameters should be shared, copied, etc. to establish how they are to managed into the future. There is no other way, since it seems that no one knows that has actually been specified/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
