Comparing two objects side-by-side

You can compare, side-by-side, any two of these objects:

You can compare two lists, two ResDescs, two groups, two ResGroups, a list and a ResDesc, or a group and a ResGroup. You can compare two PROGDEF resource definitions side-by-side, but you cannot compare a PROGDEF side-by-side with, say, a MAPDEF.

To compare two objects side-by-side:

  1. Display a list panel that contains both objects.

    For example, to compare objects in the same CICSĀ® configurations, use primary menu option 2 CICS Resources. To compare objects in different CICS configurations, use primary menu option 4.1 Multiple Configs.

  2. Type CM next to each object, and then press Enter.
  3. The details of the two objects appear side-by-side.

The side-by-side comparison of two resource definitions is straightforward: the comparison shows the attributes of each resource definition with differences highlighted.

Tip: To set the highlighting method for these differences, use the Hilite menu.

Zoom fields (marked by >)

A greater than sign (>) next to a field indicates that the field contains more data than can be displayed on the current panel. This often occurs on description fields in a side-by-side comparison. To view the entire contents of the field, move the cursor to the field (not the > sign) and then press the Zoom key (F6).

The side-by-side comparisons of lists/ResDescs and groups/ResGroups are more complex.
