  ****************************************************************
  When a TRIGGER is dependent on a SEQUENCE, both have to be
  dropped (TRIGGER by dropping tablespace). The generated
  worklist firstly drops the SEQUENCE and the result is
  SQLCODE=-478 / SQLCODEN478:
  
  SQLCODE=-478 SQLCODE = -478, ERROR: ALTER,
  DROP, OR REVOKE AFFECTING OBJECT TYPE SEQUENCE
  CANNOT BE PROCESSED BECAUSE OBJECT >object< OF
  TYPE TRIGGER IS DEPENDENT ON IT
