We have CMPPFM command to compare Physical File member. Is there any way to compare logical File members in AS400? I want to compare 1 multi format logical file in 2 Libraries? How to do that?

CMPPFM, Space offset error.

Hello,
I’m using the IBM CMPPFM utility for a file comparision process. I monitor for msg SPC5010 (file is too big ), if this occurs I submit an SQL EXCEPT to compare the files. This has been working fine until recently, now I’m getting the following error on one file,

Space offset X’00FFF026′ or X’0000000000000000′ is outside current limit
for object CMNEWBUF.
Dump output directed to spooled file 22, job 463051.

Function check. MCH0601 unmonitored by QDBGETM at statement *N,
instruction X’0840′.
Dump output directed to spooled file 25, job 463051
created on system HFSYSADV on 02/23/09 13:37:14.
Maximum number of records reached for file QPSRVDMP. (C R NOMAX 1-999999)
C
Number of records written by program exceeds 100000.
Error message CPF5116 received for file QPSRVDMP. Request ended.
Failure for device or member HIP file HIPOK3
CMPPFM ended in error.

This file has DDS over it, however if I copy to a flat file and run, I get the SPC5010 error instead of the dump.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
