/COMPARE[=(keyword,...)]
/NOCOMPARE
Determines whether Digital Test Manager compares the results of each
test with its benchmark file (the file that contains expected
test results) after the collection is executed. The default is
/COMPARE.
The /COMPARE qualifier specifies that Digital Test Manager is to
compare all tests after the collection is executed. A collection
must be compared before it can be reviewed. Any differences
between the results for a test and its benchmark file are recorded
in a difference file for that test. Tests without benchmarks can
be compared, but will be marked with the comparison status of new
test.
When you review tests, you can have benchmark files generated for
them. When you enter the /COMPARE qualifier, the COMPARE command
default qualifiers (/SCREENS, /LOG, and /WIDTH=132) are in effect.
You can optionally specify any of the following COMPARE command
qualifiers as keywords:
CHARACTERS
FULL
IGNORE=keyword
[NO]PARALLEL
RECORDS
SCREENS
WIDTH
The /COMPARE qualifier keywords have the same effect as the
COMPARE command qualifiers. See the COMPARE command qualifiers
for a description of the /COMPARE qualifier keywords.
If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.
The /NOCOMPARE qualifier prevents the automatic comparison that
Digital Test Manager ordinarily performs when the collection is
executed. You can use the COMPARE command later to compare test
results for collections created with the /NOCOMPARE qualifier.
