Specifies one or more of the following keywords. Each keyword
indicates a type of special character to be ignored during the
comparison.
Keyword Ignored Characters
CASE Directs CMS to ignore any differences between the
case of alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z).
FORM_FEEDS Directs CMS to remove formfeed characters as it
compares records from the two files.
HISTORY Directs CMS to ignore element generation history
as it compares a file with a generation. At least
one of the files must be an element generation
with the history attribute enabled.
LEADING_BLANKS Directs CMS to remove leading blanks and tabs as
it compares records from the two files.
NOTES Directs CMS to ignore notes as it compares a file
with a generation. At least one of the files must
be an element generation with the notes attribute
enabled.
SPACING Directs CMS to compress multiple blanks and tabs
into a single space as it compares records from
the two files.
TRAILING_BLANKS Directs CMS to remove trailing blanks and tabs as
it compares records from the two files.
If the HISTORY or NOTES keyword is specified, the history or notes
text is not used for the comparison, and is also removed from
the output generated by DIFFERENCES. For all other options, the
output generated by DIFFERENCES contains the original records used
for the comparison, instead of the modified form of the records
designated by the /IGNORE qualifier.
