DIFF command

[071]

Hello !
I'm trying to get the differnece between 2 files on seperate
systems but I keep getting the following error message...

invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters

Here's the command I'm using.

DIFF SYSA::ids:[archive_report]IDS_IDS0010_20040209*.rpt SYSB::ids:[archive_report]IDS_IDS0010_20040209*.rpt

Any help would be much appreciated.



Cheers,

Hi,

The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%)
wildcard characters are not allowed in the file
names in the diff.

hi,
diff is a very clever program; you can also use

$ set term /width=132
$ diff/paral H1::disk1:[YUORDIR]file.rpt H2::

if disk and dirpath are the same.

Thanks Lads,
What does the /paral function mean ?
So would the following syntax be correct ?
Diff/paral SYSTEMA::[mydirectory]file.rpt SYSTEMB::[mydirectory]file.rpt
