  ****************************************************************
  If there is a location mismatch between the schema
  and other objects, the mismatch is identified sooner
  rather than later, thus allowing the user to make
  necessary modifications before exiting the panel that
  has erroneous entries.
  
  Other panels also exercise the same logic, where
  the user can specify DB2 databases (GOC1D), table
  spaces (GOC1S), tables (GOC1T) and Schema
  (GOC1C).
  
  In the case of a mismatch, a detailed message will
  appear. For example (on Schema panel, GOC1C),
  
  short message:"location mismatch"
  
  long message:
  "The schema location does not match with the
  table space location: <table space location>"
  
  In addition to the above fix, two new options are
  added on the compare Main Menu (GOCMENU).
  The new options are:
  
  RS - Reset Source
  RT - Reset Target
  
  This will allow the user to reset only source
  or target specification.
  
  The corresponding help panels are enhanced.
