The information on the bottom half of the Run Mismatch Options menu indicates that when CA Verify for VTAM compared the eleventh record, Row 2 was the only unequal row. The data on Row 2 appears at the bottom of the menu, and CA Verify for VTAM inserts X's underneath the field which differed. In this case the field is the time stamp.

Let's look at the Expected, Current, and Original screens.

Action:

Press PF2. PF2 rotates the display between the Expected, Current, and Original screens, and the Run Mismatch Options menu.

Result:

CA Verify for VTAM displays the Expected screen.
