OLDFILE

The OLDFILE keyword points to the baseline file when using the COMPARE command. Allowed only once per command, this keyword can only reference a VSAM or a sequential file, or a member of a PDS, and is only valid with the COMPARE command. The default value for OLDFILE is SYSUT1, but this may have been changed by updating the &BAT_OLDFILE installation option.
