You can use IEBCOMPR
Used to compare two sequential data sets, two partitioned data sets or two PDSEs at the logical record level to verify a backup copy. Fixed, Variable, or undefined records from blocked or unblocked data sets or members can also be compared. However, you should not use IEBCOMPR to compare load modules.
