Hello Joe

Assuming there is no standard function available for this one option would be to download all reports using a tool like SAPLINK (perhaps in the meantime it offers the function to download all objects of an entire package). These objects are exported as XML files, thus you could then run an xdiff analysis.

I once did this for comparing huge numbers of purchase order data on two different system. I created a function module which exported the complex itab data as XML and then did the differential analysis which was highly efficient.

Uwe

erm, programs are repository objects which means they are NOT client dependant, so how could you have a difference between clients?

you cant, so there is no reason to compare them.

Hello Florian

I have assumed that "clients" means customers...

Hi Joe,

I'm guessing you mean "between two systems". In which case, you could try using transaction SREPO.

cheers,

Malcolm.
