Explanation

IEBCOMPR (or ISPF 3.15) considers two datasets equal when all corresponding members match in: record count, note list positions, record content and keys, and directory user data fields. All four conditions must be satisfied for the datasets to be declared equal - this ensures complete bitwise and structural equivalence.
