I, as John does use to UNIX diff command, I've never tried the ISPF compare utility.

for my z/OS upgrade, I compare the ServerPac etc to my current system(s) etc using

diff -r /ServerPac/etc /Service/TST1/etc > /u/jistxxx/TST1_etc_compare_zos112.txt

the output gets written to a text file

I am having problems comparing two python files from OMVS.  I can edit them

I cannot get compare to work.. it looks like compare cannot tell the second
file is ascii.
Is there an easy solution for this?
