   /COMPARISON_TYPE=keyword

   Specifies how the result and benchmark files are to be compared.
   The valid values for keyword are as follows:

     Keyword     Meaning

     CHARACTERS  Compares files character by character.

     RECORDS     Compares files record by record. This is the
                 default for noninteractive terminal tests.

     SCREENS     Compares files screen by screen; screens not
                 marked are not compared. This is the default for
                 interactive terminal and DECwindows tests.

   DECwindows tests can only use the SCREENS comparison type.
   The SCREENS comparison type is also the default comparison
   type for interactive terminal tests. If you specify the
   /COMPARISON_TYPE=SCREENS qualifier for a noninteractive test,
   this value is ignored.

   The /NOCOMPARISON_TYPE qualifier disassociates any comparison type
   from the test description.
