IBM Mainframe Forum

Very basic question here for you all, with what I'm sure is a very simple answer. Finding said answer via Google and forum searches has not gotten me anywhere sadly.

When you make changes to your package and first PF3 out to compile the changes, you are given the SERCMPAR / Comparison Report Distribution Panel screens showing the differences you've made to the old.

My co-worker and I have been scrathing our heads trying to figure out how to supress/hide/remove this screen to no avail. Unfortunatly many of my collegues have been at this so long it can be challenging trying to recall how certain settings work if you haven't changed anything for a few years. Any clue as to how to get rid of this? Any help much appriciated!

Why is this bothering you?

As an end-user you can't control it anyways, get in tocuh with yuor Change-Man admin or to Sarena, who owns this product.

It's one extra page to go through during the day (gets annoying fast). And I am pretty sure there is a way to remove it because a colleague of mine does not receive this screen. She had someone remove it for her but unfortunately does not recall how they did so. It would appear to be a tougher solution than I thought but I appreciate feedback.
