ND-10602 SOURCE COMPARE FOR ND-500

INTRODUCTION

SOURCE COMPARE is a utility for comparison of two program source files written in FORTRAN. SOURCE COMPARE belongs to the set of Software Conversion Tools. It is intended as a tool to be used in machine-to-machine conversion or source-code management jobs. SOURCE COMPARE will report the differences between the files compared, as source code differences or as a special Source Transformation Format.

FEATURES

  • Easy comparison of two program files.
  • Detects any line which has been changed.
  • Detects insertion/deletion of one or more lines.
  • Allows usage of INCLUDE files.
  • Outputs results as a report of source differences.
  • Outputs results in STF (Source Transformation Format).
  • Outputs a new source with the differences highlighted.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SOURCE COMPARE compares two source files and outputs a report of the discrepancies found. The report describes the differences in the source file. A description of the differences may also be output in STF, which is a very compact reporting format.

SOURCE COMPARE recognizes program modules/units, so it will compare successfully even if the order of the modules has been reorganized. INCLUDE files in the source program are allowed.

REQUIREMENTS

  • ND-500 Computer System
  • SINTRAN III version I or later
