Is there z/OS (ISPF) tool that can check if all lines of dataset A are contained in dataset B? In other words, is there a tool that could check if dataset A is a subset of dataset B, where A and B are sets of records (lines)? I can accomplish it using COMPARE ISPF edit function or SuperC Compare Utility, but datasets have to be sorted.
Example: dataset A content: C1 B1 A1 dataset B content: A1 B1 C1 Result of editing A and comparing it to B: .OAAAA C1 .OAAAB B1 000003 A1 ====== B1 ====== C1 Result of editing B and comparing it to A: .OAAAA A1 .OAAAB B1 000003 C1 ====== B1 ====== A1 Background: I wanted to check if all cross product dependency PTFs of product A are already applied in product B. I generated two datasets, A and B respectively, and compared them in ISPF editor using COMPARE function. I was surprised with result so I read the tutorial looking for any parameter that could influence this behaviour, but haven't found any. There were no porblems to sort both datasets in this case, I am just curious. (Later I tried to do this on my pc and it worked in Notepad++). -- Zaromil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
