I lack a bit of background to say whether this would better, and in what sense...

ct -avob -ele 'lbtype_sub(label1) &&!lbtype_sub(label2)' -nxn -print
ct -avob -ele 'lbtype_sub(label2) &&!lbtype_sub(label1)' -nxn -print
for f in $(ct -avob -ele 'lbtype_sub(label1)' -ver 'lbtype(label2) &&!lbtype(label1)' -nxn -print); do echo 'diff -diff "$f@@/label1" "$f@@label2"'; done | cleartool

It won't be fast...

Maybe you know more about the vobs where the labels may be found or things like that. I also forgot what comm does exactly...

Next, I didn't test my commands. There may be typos, especially with the quoting.

Finally, there is a hidden/unsupported command which I have probably mentioned 10 times or so in the past but do not remember now (home), and which reports actvity between labels. It may apply here.

Hi,
If you are using Windows environment, you can go for Reporting Wizard. There you have the option of generating report for versions changed between labels.
Hope this helps. Cheers :)

ct find . -ver "lbtype(label2) &&! lbtype(label1)" -print.

check the above command from top directory of VOB.
