PH65447: OBJECT COMPARE DUPLICATES EXPRESSION WHEN MASKING TRIM SCALAR FUNCTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When Object Compare is masking columns contained within a TRIM
  scalar function, Compare duplicates the expression. This leads
  to Compare generating an incorrect change since it believes the
  expression has changed. Object Compare should properly handle
  the TRIM scalar function so it only generates a change if the
  columns have been changed.
