    ****************************************************************
    1. The record number is not initialised when reporting a mismatc
    comparing data sets using readahead synchronisation. This
    results in an incorrect record number being reported if both the
    old and new data sets contain only one record.
    2. A highlighting line may be incorrectly printed at the end of
    the report when comparing data sets using readahead
    synchronisation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The File Manager compare utility has been corrected.
