  ALTER TABLE MLGAR.GARANTIE_LOCATIVE
        CHECK ("CODE_VALIDITE" IN ( 'I' , 'V' , ' ' ) ) ;
    ADD CONSTRAINT CODE_DECISION
        CHECK ("CODE_DECISION" IN ( ' ' , 'A' , 'R' ) ) ;
  ALTER TABLE MLGAR.GARANTIE_LOCATIVE
    ADD CONSTRAINT INDIC_RESIDENT
    ADD CONSTRAINT CODE_DECISION_SYS
        CHECK ("CODE_DECISION_SYS" IN ( 'R' , 'A' , ' ' ) ) ;

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Object Comparison Tool, who     *
  *                 use Check Constraints, may be affected.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Check constraints, which are identical  *
  *                      on the source and target,  got deleted  *
  *                      and redefined and  invalid/bad  syntax  *
  *                      got created.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Check Constraint of identical data has been deleted and
  redefined, leading to invalid syntax.
  

Problem conclusion

• The column name in the  CHECK CONSTRAINT was quoted on both
  source  and  target (both DDL files). Unquoting only column
  name from source before compare led to a difference between
  both CHECK CONSTRAINTs.

  The reported problem has been corrected. Apply the fix.
