Error description

• The DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS reports:
  LOB table space >database<.>tablespace<, although initially
  reported as dropped, will not be dropped because changes to
  partitions have been ignored.
  however the APPLY job contains a DROP statement.

  When comparing partitioned tables which contains LOB columns
  and the target table has more partitions than the source,
  compare still reported and did drop/re-create of the table
  even if the partitioning information was ignored.
  
  The comparison report states:
  
  Compare table source(>tbname<) and target(>tbname<)
    Auxiliary table >aux_tbname< will not
  be dropped because changes to partitions have been ignored
  ADB7170I Partitioning changes are ignored.
  LOB objects related to dropped partitions are not dropped.
  Table >tbname< is partitioned and will be dropped by dropping
  tablespace >tsname<
  Table will be recreated
