TITLE:​ What’s the Difference, After All?

SCHEDULED FOR: Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 11 AM ET

DETAILS: Basic functions like file creation, sorting, and editing are the boring, nuts-and-bolts, yet absolutely critical components supplied with any operating system. File comparison is one of these absolutely necessary yet often-overlooked operations that is somewhat different in z/OS than in other systems, which can mystify the new user. In this month’s session, we’ll dive into z/OS file comparison utilities such as IEBCOMPR and SuperC to discover just how they work, what’s unique about z/OS file compares, and how there’s more depth and complexity to file comparison than one might expect.
