Command line syntax: wrdcom {file1 {file2}}*
WRDCOM compares pairs of data files. If the file names are provided on the command line, WRDCOM compares the specified pairs of files. If the last file2 is omitted, WRDCOM prompts for it. If no files are specified on the command line, WRDCOM prompts for two file names.
Successive BITS values from each file are read and if different, the values and file position (0-origin) are written to logFile. If the two files are identical, no output is generated.
Example 35–1 shows how to use WRDCOM. The BITS values at offsets 12, 16, 20, and 24 of the files file1 and file2 are different.
