The type of listing output required.

(For a detailed explanation of the format and content of the various listings produced by SuperC, see Understanding the listings.)

Valid values are:

OVSUM

Lists only an overall summary of the results of the comparison without showing the differences themselves. A group comparison generates an individual summary line for each file (or member) in the group. For more information, see Overall summary section.

DELTA

Lists only the differences between the source files or members being compared, followed by overall summary results. Differences are flagged in the listing output section of the SuperC listing. For more information, see Listing output section.

For example, a DELTA listing of a LINE comparison shows only the individual lines in each file or member that are different.

CHNG

Contains the same information as the DELTA listing, plus up to 1000 matching lines (default is 10) before and after the differences. This listing shows differences within the context of the surrounding matching data. To specify the number of lines shown before and after each difference, use the CHNGV process statement. For more information, see Change listing value.

LONG

Lists the entire file, indicating where the differences exist, followed by a summary section.

NOLIST

Produces no listing output. One of these messages is displayed on the menu: Differences were found. or No differences were found.
