  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When compare source is DDL containing   *
  *                      a table space without specifying        *
  *                      DSSIZE and target is the DB2 catalog,   *
  *                      the VER mask for DSSIZE returns the     *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The VER mask for DSSIZE returns the wrong verification result
  in the DD file VALOUT.
  
  For example,
  The source is from DDL containing a segmented table space TS1
  created in database DB1, and target is from the DB2 catalog,
  VER mask for field DSSIZE is VER,DSSIZE:NE,0G,RC=04, the
  VER mask should return the following verification result
  in DD file VALOUT, but it did not.
  
  ADB3347W: RC=04 For Table space DB1.TS1:
  Warning processing DSSIZE Value is 0G
  Verification failed for operation NE,0G
