Compare Page
Comparison of PowerBuilder objects cannot be achieved by comparing exports of objects, as the
sequence of scripts and controls is not fixed. As a result, comparisons have to be done on a
portion by portion basis. This is what the first two comparison pages do. They leverage the
functionality of the DOS utility FC in order to compare portions.
Common options
Show Names Only
|
When this option is checked, if a difference is recognize, only
the name of the object/portion is included in the output. If the
option is unchecked, the name is listed as a header, and a
comparison is included below.
|
Scripts/Variables Only
|
When checked, only scripts and global, shared and instance
variable portions are compared. This will exclude system
portions and attribute definitions.

Leading spaces and tabs are stripped off for the comparison
when this option is checked.

Blanks lines are removed before the comparison when this
option is checked.

this option is checked.

it is compared.

evaluating the objects. If the dates match, no indexing or
comparison is done on the objects.
