The DIFFERENCES/CLASS command compares the contents of two
classes. If CMS finds differences, it creates a file named
first-class-name.DIF in your current default directory (unless
/OUTPUT is in effect.) If the contents of the classes are the
same, it issues a message to that effect and does not create a
differences file.
Note: Both classes must reside in the same library of the search
list or an error will occur.
A difference is defined as one of the following:
o A particular generation of an element is a member of one
class but no generation of the element is a member of the
other class.
o One particular generation of an element is a member of one
class and a different generation of the same element is a
member of the other class.
Only the generations that differ are displayed in the differences
file (unless you specify /FULL).
A heading at the beginning of the differences file includes the
name of the user that issued the command, the date and time the
command was issued, and the class names of the two classes being
compared.
