GROUPEXTEND implies extra checks and overhead SMP/E will go through automatically so you don't have to. Maybe not much difference on a small CSI (probably what you are used to dealing with), but in older less efficient SMP/E versions and slower processors, and going against a large z/OS CSI, it could add quite a bit of CPU and wall clock time. To answer your question, the only way I know would be to run a check both ways and compare the output. Of course you could write some code to compare the output and report too.
