Memberlist Compare (MLCMP) application

Current build: 005

General description

MLCMP shows a side-by-side list of 2 library memer lists, which makes for
easy comparison. Members are marked for being in one library only, which one
is the newest etc.
The display can be searched and filtered, see the Primary Commands section.
You can do various actions directly from the display, refer to the Line
Command section.
*Program STARTOOL or PDS86 (PDSMAIN) is required*

The panel 'PROMPT' option will show a prompt panel if a command is deemed
destructive, like when copy will replace a member.
The panel 'REPLACE' option will bypass the prompt.

Parameters

 lib1 lib2 mbr
            blank seperated library names. If less that 2 names are
            specified then a prompt screen is presented.
            The libraries obviously must be of the same type (record
            format Fb, Vb, or U).
            'mbr' is one or more membernames or masks. Default is all
            members.

Primary commands

 ALL        Show all records.
 BOTH       Show records for members in both libs.
 DATadif    Show records where note is 'datadif'.
 DIF        Show records where note is not 'same'.
 F f c v d  Find field 'f' by condition 'c' for value 'v' and 'd' is
            optional direction FIRST, LAST, NEXT or PREV. Default is NEXT.
            'field' is one of the names heading the display or DATE for both
            DATE1 and DATE2, or ID for both ID1 and ID2, 'condition' is one
            of the following: >, <, <> or =. > and < are meant to be used
            with data fields. 'value' is either the full or partial value to
            test for, or a mask using '%' for one char and '*' for zero or
            many chars. If field is 'NAME' then the alias names are also
            searched. You can use an asterix (*) to reuse the latest c+v.
            If field is DATE or ID and cond is <> then test is done with
            field1 AND field2. If field is DATE or ID and cond is not <>
            then test is done with field1 OR field2.
            The value may be specified as NULL.
            Samples:
              f name=kil
              f date1=*-10-*
              f date > 2021
              f * prev
 L m        Locate member 'm', may be a mask.
 RESet      Show all records, same as the ALL comand.
 REFresh    Reload member lists.
 SAME       Show records where note is 'same', short for note=same.
 SETDIF     Scan both libraries, mark lines where member data differ.
            Scanning is only done for the active (filteret) member list.
 SORT f [D] Sort by field 'f', optionally in Descending order. The field
            may be NAME,DATE1,DATE2,STAT1,ID1,STAT2,ID2 or NOTE. Default
            field is NAME.
 Where c    Show only lines with condition 'c'. 'c' is the same as for
            the FIND command.
            Samples:
              w date1>2021
 1          Show records where note starts with '1'.
 1N         Show records where note is '1 newest'.
 1O         Show records where note is '1 only'.
 2          Show records where note starts with '2'.
 2N         Show records where note is '2 newest'.
 2O         Show records where note is '2 only'.

 Y          Synchronize, make newest member current in both.

Block line commands

 The C, D, M and X command can be issued for a block of lines by
 duplicating the 1st character, i.e MM1 in one line and MM1 in
 another to move a block of members in one go.

Notes

 Unmovable data sets (data set org POU or PSU) cannot be copied.
 See the ISPF Services manual 'LMCOPY' command for copy details.

 Members without ISPF statistics are marked with 'no-stat' in the Date
 column. They are considered older than members with date and time.
