ABSTRACT:
While  merging  files using the TPF merge tool, if there is a difference or a

cannot detect all differences or conflicts between the files.

COMMENTS:
When  using  the TPF merge tool to merge 3 input files, if there is a differ-
ence or a conflict at the beginning of input file 2, the TPF merge tool  will
indicate  that  there  are  no  differences or conflicts at all between the 3
input files.  This is due to the fact that the TPF merge tool has  determined
the  first  difference is at line 0, when the TPF merge tool starts preparing
the merged output, it starts scanning from line 1, and incrementing the  line
number  one  at  each time.   The line numbers never match and thus TPF merge
tool goes through the whole output file and determines that there are no dif-
ferences or conflicts at all.

This problem has been fixed by having the TPF merge tool  start  scanning  at
line 0 instead of line 1 when it prepares the merged output.

SOLUTION:
This  APAR  will  be  included  in the next version released on the internet.
Please contact your CSR if the fix is needed prior to the updated release.
