Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    *                 and Db2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS.     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Object Compare does not take a ZPARM    *
    *                      into consideration when determining     *
    *                      if there is a change to the PADDED      *
    *                      attribute for an index.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    If the target index is padded, and the source index DDL does not
    contain any value for PADDED, Object Compare fails to detect a
    change to the index when the PADIX ZPARM is different from the
    target index.
