Data in Unequal Rows (Segments)

Beneath the First/Only Unequal Row information, CA Verify for VTAM displays three lines:

line 1

Row or segment from the original or the expected original screen

line 2

Row or segment from the current screen

line 3

Differences between the rows or segments, specified as follows:

blank

The two rows or segments contain the same characters

X

The two rows or segments contain different characters

-

Variable field; not compared

Note: In the original/expected and current rows, CA Verify for VTAM substitutes a blank for nulls and a period for unprintable characters (usually attributes). An X beneath two periods means the attributes are different; display the screens using Field format to view the attributes. An X beneath two blanks means one is a null and the other is a blank.

If the screens have more than one set of unequal rows, use the Down (PF8) and Up (PF7) commands to scroll through all the additional unequal rows. If the width of the test stream screen exceeds the width of the terminal you are using, use the Left (PF10) and Right (PF11) commands to display the entire screen.

When you page down through the sets of unequal rows, the menu you are viewing is titled All Unequal Rows. This menu has a column ruler to help you determine the location of the mismatch. You can type all mismatch options on this menu. Use the Rotate (PF2) command to rotate between the original, expected, and current screens and the All Unequal Rows menu.

If the following mismatches are found, CA Verify for VTAM displays this information after the last unequal screen row:
