Max,

Unless you can be assured that the compiler has had no PTFs applied since
the modules were previously compiler, a comparison of the object is likely
not going to be successful.

Are these programs written in COBOL, PL/I, or some other language?

Subject: R: How to discover compiler options from a csect/load module.

The main reason is as simply as hard.

We've got a set of source and load code. We're not sure the load are exactly
related to the original source (more then 1.500 modules so I need a massive
attack).

The main idea is to regenerate the load from the source using the same
compiler level and options and afterwards comparing the single
"applications" csect.

I think compilers options (not to tell the apar level of the compiler
itself) are really important in order to generate a "similar" csect.

Thanks a lot again.
