HI,
I wan to get the changes that have been made to a member while it was last opened in edit mode and get the changes highlighted.
Can i do this through RExx.
PLease help in this regard.

Hello,

No, once it has been saved, the changes are all in the modified member. If you made a backup copy before editing, you could compare that, but if you did not make a copy, the original is gone.

HI Thanks for your reply
Bt what i need to do in order to achieve the same provided i have the back up copy.
Being a RExx beginner can u pls help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Hello,

If you have an online backup copy, you would use SUPERC to compare the 2 members (tso/ispf 3.13). If the system you use has FileAid, this also has a compare function.

If you are not already fluent with REXX you will need to invest far more time than it is worth to achieve something that is already available. People who know rexx would have trouble with a comprehensive file compare (similar to superc).
