What about some technique for unloading both PDS (either IEBCOPY or IEHMOVE) to sequential files, then comparing the sequential files? IEHMOVE is very slow, but it unloads in collating sequence to 80-byte records. If both PDS is logically the same, then the IEHMOVE output should compare the same? Jeffrey D.
