Hi,

I am trying to compare sequential datasets (each of approx 1 GB size) using the SuperCE Utility. SuperCE output listing shows that there are differences in file, but I don't see any difference between the files.

I sorted both files using key before comparison. My "Compare Type" is "Line" and "Listing Type" is "Delta".

Can some one help me understand why SuperCE is listing the differences?

Thanks,
Balaji.

If superc shows the records as not being the same, they are not the same. . .

You need to look at 2 of these records byte by byte (with HEX ON) and you will see the difference(s).

Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to abort the compare process as soon as superCE finds difference in 1 record?

Thanks,
Balaji.

Balaji,

You can use FMSTOP option to stop after first difference.

Also, you could do a BYTE compare instead of LINE to check difference in hex values
