This feature was delivered in version 9.6.
The Compare tool in RSE now enables the merge features when comparing remote IBM i members. Previously, this was only available when comparing local members in i Projects or when comparing local i Project members with their corresponding remote members in Remote Reconciler. In addition, differences like sequence numbers can now be properly displayed using the Text Compare option in the Compare tool and will allow you to better synchronize and merge conflicts, for example, when using eGit tools. NOTE: If multiple compare editors are open for the same source members edit mode will be disabled.
The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
May I add that syntax highlighting in the editor views as well as access to the outlines of the compared members would be very useful?
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - Developer for Power Systems
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - Developer for Power Systems
The free iSphere Plugin has a very competent compare/merge feature that is worth looking at.

Check under "Reference" in the help: http://isphere.sourceforge.net//help/
Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
This feature should also preserve Source dates.

One problem with using RSE is that RDi does not know what sources you consider to be PRODUCTION solely on the ability to change source. I have the authority to change our production source but if I use a RSE file that "hides" the source location I might be thinking I am comparing non PRODUCTION source.
