Workspace Method Compare
Description
Checks the consistency between two variables.
The two variables are checked to not deviate outside the specified
value (*maxabsdiff*). An error is issued if this is not fulfilled.
The main application of this method is to be part of the test
control files, and then used to check that a calculated value
is consistent with an old, reference, value.
