  ****************************************************************
  If an ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN change is not possible,
  Object Compare now generates reason code explanations
  in the ADB7191I and ADB7192I  informational messages
  in the object comparison report.
  
  Examples:
  ADB7191I  Column column_name cannot be dropped by the
  ALTER TABLE DROP statement. The column is defined as a security
  label column.
  
  ADB7192I  ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN RESTRICT statement cannot be
  generated for table table_schema.table_name.
  The containing table space is not a universal table space.
