New file ID and old file ID
The names of the two files to be compared. SuperC supports the
CMS convention of including wildcard characters (
)
and equal signs (*
) as part of the input file
ID.=
This example compares NEW TEST1 A with OLD TEST1 A:
New File ID ==> new test1 a
Old File ID ==> old = =Other examples of file name usage are:
| File ID Specified | Meaning |
|---|---|
new test1 a |
Single CMS file |
new test* a |
File group (all with a file type starting with TEST) |
new maclib |
The entire macro library, NEW |
Notes:
- If a process statements file is specified (see Process statements ID) and it contains a SELECTF process statement, the New File ID and Old File ID fields are ignored.
- A MACLIB/TXTLIB with a file name containing an
(for example, ABC**MACLIB A or*TXTLIB C) is not processed as individual MACLIB/TXTLIBs with members. There is no method for specifying theconcatenation
of more than one MACLIB/TXTLIB. - The percent wildcard character (
) is not supported by SuperC.% - SuperC allows the same file ID to be entered in both the New File
ID and Old File ID fields. You can use SuperC in this way to obtain:
- Various file statistics (at the FILE, LINE, WORD, or BYTE level)
- A file hex dump listing (using a BYTE comparison with a LONG listing)
- A comparison of different columns or rows within the same file.
