The way I (would) do that is reading each system parmlib members and create each member a single string (concatenate lines). Then I would remove blanks (Rexx space(String,1)). If the lines are ordered the same, it will work for you. For members having the chance of different order, but same functionality, I would work with stems in Rexx and do string comparisons. BTW, Some members will not be the same (like PROGxx) and should not be the same (as dasd sharing is not allowed).
