Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
*                 and Db2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Object Comparison Tool generates CREATE *
*                      INDEX statements in an incorrect order  *
*                      when the table space PAGENUM attribute  *
*                      changes from ABSOLUTE to RELATIVE.      *
****************************************************************
Object Comparison Tool generated an ALTER TABLESPACE...PAGENUM
RELATIVE statement after a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement,
resulting in SQL error -270. This error occurred, because the
CREATE INDEX statement specified a DSSIZE change, which is
permitted only when PAGENUM is RELATIVE.
