Invoking the comparison on CMS using menu input

Edit online
You can use the SuperC Comparison on CMS to compare:
  • Two files
  • Selected files within file groups
  • Two complete file groups
  • Selected members within MACLIBs or TXTLIBs
  • Complete MACLIBs or TXTLIBs
To invoke the SuperC Comparison on CMS, enter: 
ASMFSUPC
on the CMS command line.

If you enter ASMFSUPC without any parameters, the Primary Comparison Menu appears (see Figure 1). This menu allows to specify the files to be compared, and other SuperC options. However, if you enter ASMFSUPC with the file IDs to be compared and any options you want to use, the comparison starts immediately without displaying the menu.

This section describes how to use the Primary Comparison Menu. For information about invoking the SuperC Comparison directly from the command line without using the menu, see Invoking the comparison on CMS using command line input).

For a straightforward comparison of two files, just enter the names of the two files that you want compared. One is called the new file, the other the old file. (They are assumed to be different versions of the same file; the significance of new and old is normally irrelevant.) Enter the IDs (fn ft fm) of the two files in the New File ID and Old File ID fields.

For example, if you want to compare the file NEW TEST1 A with the file OLD TEST1 A, enter the two file names as follows: 
  New File ID   ==> new test1 a
  Old File ID   ==> old test1 a
and press Enter.
