Would changing the warning message around so that it gave the percentage
difference help? (Currently, it just says that the difference is more
than 2%.) Then the user could easily decide if the amount of mismatch is
acceptable. In this way, someone that expects or is comfortable with a 5%
(or more) difference could ignore the warning. (The program could still use
2% as the trigger for the warning.)

We could even expand the message beyond 2 lines of text to include a
description of how these numbers are generated. I admit that many of
IBISCHK's messages are a bit too terse.
