Compare and merge RPG programs by line

Need an option to merge code line by line instead of copying the whole block of new lines when merging code.


Use Case:

A single program could be modified for different requirements. Each requirement would be in different stages of testing. PDM 55 gives that facility to merge lines or blocks

    Thank you for your request. We would like some more detail to understand what you are asking for. Is this request to enhance the 'Compare with each other' viewer such that there is another way to copy lines from one side of the comparison to the other, other than the existing 'Copy current change to the left/right' and 'copy all non-conflicting changes to the left/right', where your new action would only copy lines rather than entire diff blocks?

    I would also like to point out that you can already select code on one side, right-click and select copy, then paste on the other side. The comparison will adjust to any changes you make. Files can also be saved as usual from the compare editor. Does this satisfy your request?
