Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
  *                 who use Object Compare when the partition    *
  *                 key is changed.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Object Compare fails when the           *
  *                      partitioning key for the source table   *
  *                      is a different data type than the       *
  *                      partitioning key for the target table.  *
  ****************************************************************
  When the source table has a different partitioning key than the
  target table, the table has to be dropped and recreated with the
  new partitioning key. In this situation, Object Compare
  mistakenly compares a limit key in a different partitioning key
  and generates message ADB7383E:
  
  ADB7383E A severe error occurred when processing the specified
  limit key for table SCHEMA.TABLE. Wrong input parameters in
  column COLUMN_NAME.Object
  
  Compare should not compare a limit key when the
  partitioning key is different between the source and the target
  table.
