PH45856: OBJECT COMPARE INCORRECTLY REPORTS CHANGES TO COMPRESS ATTRIBUTE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The COMPRESS attribute is incorrectly reported as changed for a
  segmented tablespace when it should report no changes. The
  tablespace was created prior to version Db2 v12 so there is a
  null value for the compress attribute in the version file.
  Object Compare needs to use the SYSTABLEPART record if the
  SYSTABLESPACE record does not have a compress value.
