Input and Output

IEBCOMPR uses the following input:

Two sequential data sets, partitioned data sets, PDSEs, or z/OS UNIX files to be compared.
A control data set that contains utility control statements. This data set is required if the input data sets are partitioned or PDSEs, or if user routines are used.

IEBCOMPR produces as output a message data set that contains informational messages (for example, the contents of utility control statements), the results of comparisons, and error messages.
