Hmmm. Interesting. IDCAMS - yes, just a dump of lots of characters. Nothing else beside chopping down innocent trees. Do you want to compare all and every record in those VSAM dsn? Ie, you want compare without validating them? Or is there something INSIDE them you want to compare? Storage Class, Pool group, ACS routines, etc.? AFAIK, the only way for now, is: for each ISMF screen, I select the CDS and do a list. Cumbersome, painful, etc. I wonder if two different DCOLLECT runs with specific CDS can give you a report with differences? Currently I'm now unable to do a DCOLLECT run, due to other work... It would be interesting if there is a [free/gratis] solution, because my Storage admin would like to use it too. Or better - a type of IRRDBU00 unload of those SCDS. That would be very handy.
