Maybe I'm missing something, but I think you might want to look at the
VLIST command.  Execute a VLIST on a LIVE program, capture the output,
do a VLIST on TEST, capture that output, and compare the two.  if they
are substantially the same, great, if not, then proceed with caution.

And once you get this situation resolved, you may want to consider
some sort of version control system to prevent it from reoccuring.
