TPCOMP2 Comparison of data on tapes

Version:

TPCOMP2 V21.0A

The TPCOMP2 utility routine serves to compare data recorded on two magnetic tapes. It provides a listing of all portions of these tapes that are not identical.

Comparison of data is done on a decade basis. This allows for the printing of 5 groups of variant data in one line on a 132-character printer or 6 groups per line on a 160-character printer.

Input and output

Input to the tape compare routine consists of 2 magnetic tapes recorded in the same format. This routine requires no parameters for its standard functions. For other options, parameters are entered via SYSDTA.

Output is a printed listing of any discrepancies that exist between the tapes being compared.
