The SIDLOC tool is now available at http://www.ibm.com/software/htp/tpf/download/sidloc.htm. SIDLOC provides TPF developers with the functionality of placing SID codes in their source files and comparing these source files to corresponding original files in a given directory. The tool provides a summary of the number of added, changed, and deleted lines.

To use the SIDLOC tool you need to have OS/390 UNIX System Services (OS/390 UNIX).

To obtain the SIDLOC tool, do the following:

1. From the TPF Web page at http://www.ibm.com/software/htp/tpf, under Fast Links, click Downloads.
2. From the list of tools, click SIDLOC.
3. From the SIDLOC page, click the Download now button.
4. After agreeing to the license, click Accept and save the file to your local workstation

Use an FTP program to transfer the file (sidloc.tar.Z) in binary mode to OS/390 UNIX.

Extract the contents of sidloc.tar.Z by using the following command:

pax -rf sidloc.tar.Z -ofrom=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047

Note: Remember to set the file permissions appropriately.

Your directory should look similar to the following:
