               d use of

   PLICHK Check for unmatched quotes, /*comments*/, parenthesis etc.

Spelling

For TEXT in general

   SPELL Checks spelling of data currently being edited.  Lines
               containing misspelled words have a NOTE line inserted after them,
                listing the
               misspelled words for the line.

               SPELL should not be used with documents which contain SCRIPT control
               words.
               (author's recommendation).  Failure will definitely occur on
               ds (.im) since
               the copied file is sequential and does not contain imbedded members
               of the original.

Comparison Clists and Commands

   SUPERC PDF Option 3.12, and 3.13

               In addition to the information available in the SUPERC
               tutorials and documentation, additional information on batch
               searches and comparisons has been included.  Such information
               has been obtained from IBMIN -- questions and answers to IBM.

   @COMPARE Compares member in EDIT with corresponding member in specified DS
               N, or to another
               member in the same library.  If member in edit has sequence n
               rs (according to IFPS) both member
               will be compared with "PROCESS(SEQ)".  Comparison c
               -PDS sequential dataset
               by enclosing the dsname in quotes.  For additional options re
               to @COMPARE documentation and to
               SUPERC documentation.

                      @COMPARE fully.qualified.dsname
