Hi, Philip.

CMS has it's own built in COMPARE command for comparing two CMS files. You can read its online help file via HELP COMPARE.

There are also two good, free, CMS compare utilities available that address some of the shortcomings of the basic IBM COMPARE command:

1) Kris Buelen's (IBM Belgium) COMPARE tool (not to be confused with the native CMS COMPARE command). You can download it from here:

http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/

It's the very first entry on the list....

2) Cornell University's XCOMPARE package....it has many useful features (creating an update file in CMS format, e.g.) and it's is more flexible and powerful than IBM's COMPARE command. You can download it from here:

It's the very last member on the list.

Good luck.
