proc compare needs a primary key, a row-identifier.
Nat's solution will find changes
only within  the line,
i.e. that the original and copy have the same number of lines.

I have used UltraEdit as my text editor
since at least the turn of the millenium
and am in their list of Highly-Satisfied Customers.

They have a separate product known as UltraCompare.

While I do not use it extensively
I do remember that it will
highlight additional lines, i.e., insertions,
and pick up the comparison where it finds
the next two matching lines.
