Comparing Systems

 

  'file 1 ' FFCOMPARE 'file 2'
  and
  'file 1' MENU_COMPARE 'file 2'
  and
  'file 1' SYS_COMPARE 'file 2'
  These 3 functions behave in a similar manner. They compare 2 versions of a files , menu or system file, respectively. The first 2 return the comparision as a result. The last (because of the expected size) prints its findings immediately. They make be used directly by the programmer or via the security check option.
  res ¬ 'library 1, library 2, flag' FILE_COMPARE 'file name'
  a programmer tool to compare 2 versions of a file. If 'flag' is zero, the function will stop each time a difference is found (®LC to continue), if it is one, the function continues to end of file. In either case the result is a list of the components which differ.
  'file' SHOWFILE 'control'
  For the files file in 'file', this function can perform serveral types of analysis:
  IF 1 is in 'control', shows all files and there uses.
  IF 2 is in 'control', shows groups (i.e. tasks) and their contents.
  IF 3 is in 'control', show dependancies, i.e. the batch tasks only create files in the 'DATA' directory, the 'DATA\END' directory effectively a read-only area, so the system can show task dependancies by analysing which files are read andcreated by various tasks.
  IF 4 is in 'control', show files needed in the 'DATA\CLOSE' directory at the beginning of an overnight batch.
  IF 5 is in 'control', show unused files.
