  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Db2 Object Comparison Tool for  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a view exists on the target but not  *
  *                      on the source, and Compare is running   *
  *                      in CMDELTA mode, analyze processing     *
  *                      may result in the following merge       *

  *                      a view that already exists.             *
  ****************************************************************
  When a view is on the target but not on the source, with the
  setting SUPPRESS OF DROP OBJECTS set to YES and with CMDELTA
  mode on, Compare will mistakenly add a CREATE VIEW statement
  to the change file. During Analyze of this change, merge
  processing may end with the following error:
  
  ADB8007E An attempt was made to create a view that
  already exists.
