SUPERC may not be an industrial-strength comparison facility, but it can be useful. I use it for quick & dirty stuff, but use other facilities for complex needs.
Process statement LSTCOLM can be used to specify the columns to be displayed. Combined with LONGLN (176-byte line display), this can help show the differences even in long lines. CMPCOLM can be used to indicate the columns to be compared; sort of a masking facility.
