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