I have never been able to figure this out, so I am asking here (with a CC to
ISPF-L).
When I am editing a COBOL source member in ISPF EDIT and I enter the bare
COMPARE command without any argument, I get this pop-up menu:
Edit Compare Settings and Command Parameters
Command ===>
SuperC Options: Display options:
Enter "/" to select option Lines displayed
/ Case Insensitive Compare with EXCLUDE . . . 5 (0 - 12)
/ Ignore Reformat Differences Label Prefix . . . O (A - Y)
Data Contains DBCS Characters
Use a label of the form .Oxxxx to
change the highlighting of a line
to mark it as only existing in
the current file.
Compare Command Parameters:
Name . . . . . +
Volume . . . .
Enter "/" to select option Enter "/" to select option
Exclude Save
SYSIN Set SYSIN data set
Enter END to save changes. If NAME is set, Compare will run
I did figure out that the "Name" field is to specify the file to compare
against, but how and where do I specify compare parameters (like "CMPCOLM
007:072" for instance)?
I have tried entering a "/" on the "SYSIN" and on the "Set SYSIN data set"
options but neither one lets me specify or create a SYSIN file for the compare
containing the options I want to use.
Any help or RTFM you can provide is appreciated.
Current z/OS level is 2.3 if that makes a difference.
