I think you’re right. The code could vary - but in most cases it doesn’t. I did some hexdumps and diffs on some GPs and most differences are like that (screendump of my shell):

prompt> hexdump -Cv /path_to_dev_lib/GP/FRRX000N.NGN > FRRX000N.dev
prompt> hexdump -Cv /path_to_prod_lib/GP/FRRX000N.NGN > FRRX000N.prod
prompt> diff FRRX000N.dev FRRX000N.prod

Differences are:

  • natural Patchlevel (hexdump-line 010)
  • the modules timestamp (hexdump-line 020)
  • the OS-Version (hexdump-line 2a0)
  • another timestamp (hexdump-line 380)
  • another timestamp (hexdump-line 440)

The only thing I’ve done is a stow on FRRX000N.dev. FRRX000N.prod is from 2005-01-30. And my conclusion: The code itself is identical.

The problem remains: Natural-Patchlevel and the module’s time stamp is on a fixed position inside the GP. The OS-Version and the timestamps are “variable”.

Please note, that the code of the 1st post was identical to the 2nd.

#2 is wrong

Very confusing…
