Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS Change Management function
  produces unexpected ALTER statements when comparing the DDL used
  to define a table-controlled partitioning object against the
  DB2 Catalog:
    Source and/or target tablespaces use table-controlled
  partitioning
    Comparison results may not reflect actual object differences
    (A)Table partitioning limit key(s) have changed

  DB2 Object Comparison Tool or DB2 Administration Tool Change
  Management function produces unexpected ALTER statements
  when comparing the DDL used to define a table-controlled
  partitioning object against the DB2 Catalog:
  
  Source and/or target tablespaces use table-controlled
  partitioning
  Comparison results may not reflect actual object
  differences
  (A)Table partitioning limit key(s) have changed
  
  Problem could occur when DECIMAL column is involved
  in the limit key specification and DECIMAL DECP value is
  set to period.
