Summary	0000711: Add utility command for a logical compare of 2 files

Revision	2015-07-31 15:42 by Falk Reichbott
Description	It would very helpful to have a utility command for a logical compare of 2 files with FLCL. Based on the conversion cabebilities of FLAM and the transparent read of different file formats a logical compare of the clear contant of to files would be very helpful. For example: * Compare a member of a ZIP archive with a GZIP, BZIP, XZ or PGP file. * Compare a UTF-16 text file with a EBCDIC host data set * Compare a FLAMFILE member from ZOS (EBCDIC) with an text file on UNIX (UTF-8) * Compare a XML file from USS in UTF-16 (Java) with a base encoded PGP-File * aso In all this cases the clear neutral logical content of the file independent of its physical representation (host dataset, FLAMFILE, ZIP archive, GZIP file) must be identical and if a differenz the element with the differnz must be logged.
