COMPARERC (CRC)

The COMPARERC parameter overrides File-AID/MVS configuration parameter UNEQUAL_COMPARE_RETURN_CODE. For more information, see UNEQUAL_COMPARE_RETURN_CODE in the File-AID/MVS additional parameters (FAMVALL). This parameter is valid only for the  COMPARE function.

Specify a different return code to issue when the COMPARE function finds any differences in the data that you specify to compare from the old to the new data set. Valid entries are hexadecimal values 00 through FF.

Warning

Important

We recommend that a non-zero value should NOT be a multiple of 4 to distinguish it from other usual return codes. Depending of the perceived severity of an unequal compare, set the value to either 03, 07, 0B (11), or 0F (15).

The syntax of the COMPARERC parameter is:

COMPARERC=nn

Example:

$$DD01 COMPARE COMPARERC=0B

This example issues return code 11 when the COMPARE function finds any differences in the data that you specify to compare from the old to the new data set.
