Need Prime Dupe Compare Tool

We recently had a Prime/Dupe mismatch problem in our FOS production system. We were identifying problem the addresses as dumps surfaced, and/or had to find them manually.
Because we only have 2 arrays on that system, we were finally able to determine the problematic timeframe, and identify which of the arrays was in a questionable state. To ensure we got everything addressed, we ended up doing mod copies of everything from the “good” mod on to the “questionable” mod.
If we had a prime/dupe comparison tool, we could have easily & more quickly identified what was mismatched and corrected only those that were bad.
Had this happened on our PSS system, it would have been much worse, if not impossible, in trying to manually identify/correct what was bad, making a tool like this invaluable. Please seriously consider this request. Thanks...
