COMPARE PDS Directory Report

The report generated when comparing two partitioned data sets consists of the following two parts:

• A member table listing member name, compare result, and record counts
• Summary information containing global statistics on the member that were compared

Member Table

The member table displays members compared based on the DIRREPORT value. If you specified DIRREPORT(A), then one line for each member processed is shown. If you specified DIRREPORT(M), then lines for matching members are suppressed.

The member table shows general statistics about the compare. Specific information about the compare is displayed in the Compare Result column. Compare Results values are as follows:

Compare Result

Match–The member exists in both the old and the new data sets, and no changes were detected.

Change–The member exists in both the old and the new data sets and at least one change was detected.

Delete–The member exists in the old data set, but not in the new data set.

Insert–The member exists in the new data set, but not in the old data set.

Not Found–The member does not exist in either the old or the new data set.

Error–The member exists in at least one data set, but run time processing encountered an error. Messages identifying the error are written to SYSPRINT.

Note: In the table, a record count of zero is represented by a blank.

Summary Information

The summary information shows the number of members processed, matched, changed, inserted, deleted, not found, and in error.
