APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The problem is due to the internal handling of reject links and the design-time metadata is not up-to-date, and it is this metadata which is used for Job Comparisons and Reporting. In this case, a comparison is failing because at some point in the job modifications caused the reject link information to be updated (with the correct values) and that is later showing a difference error, when in fact there is no visible difference in the GUI.
Local fix
Problem summary
Job comparisons report on design-time metadata, a problem was discovered with reject links not comparing correctly because this metadata was not saved in the job design.
Problem conclusion
Modified the job compiler to update the design-time metadata with the current reject links to ensure job reporting and job comparisons work correctly. Having installed this patch, parallel jobs which previously encountered problems during comparisons or reports should be recompiled to normalize the design-time metadata.
Temporary fix
