DataWindow Compare

This page will compare the data sets of two DataWindows. This is useful in testing the potential success of functions that share or transfer data sets or portions of data sets, like ShareData() and RowsCopy(). After selecting the two DataWindows from the lists presented after the Select DataWindow # button is pressed, the data sets will be shown side by side. The Match column indicates the degree of the match between parallel elements of the data set. Columns that match in data type, but not in length, will be labeled with “Length” in the Match column, and will be highlighted in yellow (some functions will pass for these discrepancies, but other problems may arise). Columns that do not match data types will be labeled “Data type”, and will be highlighted in red. Columns that have no match in the other data set will be labeled “Data set length”, and will be highlighted in red.
