Control > Show > Differences

Control > Show > Differences shows the textual differences between different versions of a controlled object. Differences also shows the differences between individual objects, including uncontrolled ones. Differences are displayed in a read-only window. This command displays the Show Differences dialog box.

Information regarding the difference dialog box under Apex/ClearCase can be found at CM Diff.

By default, blanks and tabs at the beginnings and ends of lines are not considered in computing differences.

Differences Dialog Box Fields

Filename/Element Fields

These fields specify the objects to be compared. Each object may be identified using a filename or element name.

Filename


A file pathname is specified (in File #1 or File #2 field) and a version indicator or number may be specified in the Version field. The version is selected from the current history of the file.


Element


The fields Subsystem, Element, History, and Version must be specified. (See Version and Element Names).


For an uncontrolled object, the Filename option must be used. The Version field is ignored in this case.

Exchange #1 and #2 button

This button exchanges the two objects to be compared. The differences between the objects are always presented as changes applied to the first object to produce the second object.
