Re: SCDS/ACDS Compare Tool
Not a 'tool' exactly but I wrote a similar *raw* comparison job to do what you're seeking. It uses IDCAMS DCOLLECT SMSDATA() where SCDSNAME(ACTIVE) gives you the equivalent values that are found in the current ACDS. You then SuperC that vs. the SCDSNAME() you're looking to activate/validate. Unfortunately, there will always be deltas [1] if only for internal dates; so I wrote myself a SAS program that does a raw comparison, ignoring the record header stuffs, and provides offsets & lengths that can be used with the DCOLLECT records layouts in the AMS appendix. That illustrated to me that the information in 'Reserved' fields will *not* be equal. Still, it, along with an IDCAMS PRINT of both, made the manual investigation simpler and could be used as backup documentation when printed/annotated/filed. I'll bundle up the 10 member library for those that want. (I never considered it for CBT since it's *really* just an augmented SuperC.) [1] I just re-ran the job comparing the activating SCDS against the ACTIVE and SuperC gives 980 deltas. The SAS program 'wheedles' that down to 367 items to check.

I've asked IBM and they were not aware of anything. I've looked at Naviquest and it can do some but not everything. A FileManger compare of the files doesn't produce anything useful.
