COMPARE Statement

You use the COMPARE statement to indicate the organization of the data sets you want to compare.

The COMPARE statement, if included, must be the first utility control statement. COMPARE is required if you use the EXITS or LABELS statement or if the input data sets are partitioned data sets or PDSEs.

The syntax of the COMPARE statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	COMPARE	TYPORG={PS\|PO}

where:

TYPORG={PS|PO}

specifies the organization of the input data sets. The values that can be coded are:

PS: specifies that the input data sets are sequential data sets. This is the default.
PO: specifies that the input data sets are partitioned data sets or PDSEs.
