LPEX member compare should be more eclipselike

LPEX editor's member compare is completely useless. The only possibility is to compare a opened member against a local file.
Why can't we compare two remote files, let's say a development version against a production version?
And the look and feel of LPEX compare is antique. It's like ISPF's SuperC but more confusing.
So we need a compare utility like eclipse file compare, which can be used against 2 remote files and gives us a detailed and clear view of all changes. But it should be customizable, so that we can specify the columnrange (margins) which we want to compare.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:

    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Developer for System z

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Design & development

    This RFE was opened at my request, Candice Lane RDz L2 support, after conversations with LPEX development. The customer wants the ability to compare 2 remote files in the LPEX editor for RDz. This function is available in RDp, but not in RDz. In RDz v8 you can only compare 1 remote file to one local file. Please reopen this RFE.

    This function has been delivered with the Eclipse editors and was provided in RDz 801. Please look at the infocenter documentation for more details on Compare Editor -> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ratdevz/v8r0/index.jsp
