Product Overview

The architecture of Source Program Compare is centered around three main components: the Comparison Engine, the Input/Output Handler, and the Reporting Module. The Comparison Engine is responsible for the core comparison logic, utilizing algorithms optimized for z/OS environments. The Input/Output Handler manages file access, supporting various file types including PDS, sequential files, and members stored in libraries.

The Reporting Module formats the comparison results, generating detailed reports that highlight insertions, deletions, and modifications. The tool operates through a command-line interface (CLI), allowing for automation and integration into existing workflows. The tool leverages z/OS security for authentication and access control, using RACF or equivalent.

The tool supports comparison of various source code formats, including COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler. The tool does not have a GUI. The tool's detailed reports can be used to document code changes, which is essential for meeting compliance requirements.
