There is no getting around the manual examination that is required. Once this is completed then you can evaluate whether parameters should be shared, copied, etc. to establish how they are to managed into the future.
There is no other way, since it seems that no one knows that has actually been specified/.

Do we need to make sure they are in the same order? Thanks a lot!

It is quite trivial. Unless you mean that these libraries are not truly comparable in which case no comparison is possible. Under those conditions you would have to have a program which could have specific parameters and values identified and then compared against the target library. To the best of my knowledge, that is certainly not freely available. Adam P.S. I am assuming that the notion of symbols has been properly pursued and evaluated. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of ibmmain Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2021 4:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How to compare parameters in one z/Os with parameters in another z/OS Hi all &nbsp;We want to make sure two z/OS use the same parameters(PARMLIB,VTAMLST,and so on)&nbsp; Because there is some parameter which is multiline in member, it isn't easy to compare them. &nbsp;&nbsp; Is there any way to compare&nbsp; parameters in one z/Os with parameters in another z/OS &nbsp;Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated Best Regards, Jason Cai ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
