Compare data tables function

We miss one useful function for comparison all columns of two data tables in JMP16.

This helpful function was available in JMP15 to find easily unmatched columns (name changes of columns, additional columns and missing columns). Result was available in two seconds independent of number of columns. In JMP16 we have to manually scroll through all columns to determine if there are linked or unlinked (match). That`s why it takes more time dependent on number of columns and has a high risk to overlook differences.

Is there a chance to get this function back in JMP16?

I was going to post this as a wish list item too. In JMP 16, when the columns differ, but the matching ones do not, the message back is "There is no difference in the data." This is very misleading and has resulted in us missing changes. The column matcher widget is not sufficient because the lines connecting columns can be complex and cannot even be seen for typical data sets (>20 columns say).
