   /COMPARE[=(keyword,...)]
   /NOCOMPARE

   Determines whether Digital Test Manager compares the results of each
   test with its benchmark file (the file that contains expected
   test results) after the collection is executed. The default is
   /COMPARE.

   The /COMPARE qualifier specifies that Digital Test Manager is to
   compare all tests after the collection is executed. A collection
   must be compared before it can be reviewed. Any differences
   between the results for a test and its benchmark file are recorded
   in a difference file for that test. Tests without benchmarks can
   be compared, but will be marked with the comparison status of new
   test.

   When you review tests, you can have benchmark files generated for
   them. When you enter the /COMPARE qualifier, the COMPARE command
   default qualifiers (/SCREENS, /LOG, and /WIDTH=132) are in effect.
   You can optionally specify any of the following COMPARE command
   qualifiers as keywords:

     CHARACTERS
     FULL
     IGNORE=keyword
     [NO]PARALLEL
     RECORDS
     SCREENS
     WIDTH

   The /COMPARE qualifier keywords have the same effect as the
   COMPARE command qualifiers. See the COMPARE command qualifiers
   for a description of the /COMPARE qualifier keywords.

   If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
   commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
   one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.

   The /NOCOMPARE qualifier prevents the automatic comparison that
   Digital Test Manager ordinarily performs when the collection is
   executed. You can use the COMPARE command later to compare test
   results for collections created with the /NOCOMPARE qualifier.
