Details
This tool will update the dictionary with all terms that were found to be unmatched as the result of the %tcompare tool.  It will compare the input thesaurus as compared to the output thesaurus.  Note that the two must have the same keys.  If the "Add" is selected, it will insert items found into the output dictionary that are not found in the input dictionary.  If drop is selected, it will drop rows from the output dictionary not found in the input dictionary.  In either case, an audit trail is kept recording all the changes.

Example   

%tcompare(inthes=MedDRA version 8.1,
                    outhes=MedDRA Internal);

%tcompare(inthes=MedDRA version 8.1,
                    outhes=MedDRA Internal,
                    type=drop);
