Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Object Comparison Tool for  *
  *                 z/OS who process LOB table spaces which      *
  *                 only exists on the target.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS, *
  *                      when option 'Suppress DROP of objects'  *
  *                      on panel GOC5 'Generate Compare Jobs'   *
  *                      is specified as 'YES', Object Compare   *
  *                      still drops the LOB table space which   *
  *                      exists on the target but not on the     *
  *                      source.                                 *

  *                      This behavior is changed to not drop    *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS, when option 'Suppress
  DROP of objects' on panel GOC5 'Generate Compare Jobs' is
  specified as 'YES', Object Compare still drops the LOB table
  space which exists on the target but not on the source.
  
  This behavior is changed to not drop an explicit LOB table
  space which is on the target only and is not associated with
  an auxiliary table if the 'Suppress DROP of objects' option
  is specified as 'YES'.
