Cross posted to IBM-MAIN and ISPF-L On a z9 BC running z/OS 1.8 (at level RSU 0802), I am using SUPERCE to compare two fairly large SMP/E listings (~2M lines each). I submit a separate batch job (using ISPF 3.13) for each section of the listings (e.g., one for DLIB LMOD, another for target SRC, etc) using CMPLINE TOP/BTM control cards to designate the section of interest. I also specify DPBLKCL to ignore blank lines and a couple of DPLINE statements to ignore the header lines at the top of each page.
For the smaller sections of the SMP/E listings, the process works fine. But for the larger sections, SUPERCE processes the data multiple times. In one case, a 600 line block in the SUPERCE output listing is repeated over 40 times. Based on the massive jump in elapsed time, CPU time, and I/O counts (as reported by SDSF), this is not just a loop in SUPERCE's output processing but the input data is actually being processed over and over. Additionally, in one case, the CMPLINE BTM control card appeared to be ignored. Ideas anyone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
