This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but if I understand it
correct, you are attempting to synchronise the SysDef and the "real thing"??
The best way to achieve this is: give it up!
The FBM's and related hardware are just ordinary blocks these days and
should best be treated as just that. Just maintain them in the Control
Configurator only. They are saved in an ECB compound during the save_all
phase in ICC, they are part of the checkpoint file and there really is no
added value to maintaining them in the SysDef configuration program.
You can actually delete them in System Definitions without pain. I have done
so in the past for several large sites. (more than 2500 FMB's configured)
The bonus is that SysDef configuration checks (you DO run those occasionally
don't you?) go MUCH faster. One site which took 30 minutes the check the
configuration with FMB's went to less than one minute for the same job on
the same hardware. The drawback is of course: you loose a coffee break.
So, I'm sure that you could write a script for this but the message is:
don't.
But: I don't know the deeper reason you asked for this....

Has anyone developed a script that will take an frev output and compare that
with IIF.cur to produce a list that shows the FBMs that should be 'ADDED',
'DELETED', or 'MODIFIED' in System Definition to account for FBM changes
that
are made on-line?
