  ****************************************************************
  In DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS, when comparing two
  tables and at least one of them is partitioned, if some but not
  all IGNORE fields are specified and related to the PARTITIONING
  generic IGNORE specification, there are several ONCODE=350 /
  ONCODE350 warning messages in the compare job log:
  
  IBM0361W ONCODE=350
  The STRINGRANGE condition was raised.
  
  When comparing two indexes and at least one of them is
  partitioned, if some but not all IGNORE fields are specified and
  related to the PARTITIONING generic IGNORE specification, the
  compare job failed with a RC=12 and the following error messages
  are in the job log:
  
  No sysindexpart row found for Create index.
  ADBC002E - Severe error. Compare terminates.
  ADB0380E Module ADB2CMP - Severe error Compare terminates.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem has been resolved and a new message has been added to
  warn users when they specify some but not all fields relating
  to generic partitioning:
  
  (W)Some but not all fields related to partitioning have
     been ignored. This may lead to unpredictable results.
     Please use generic ignore PARTITIONING if you want to
     IGNORE partition information during compare, otherwise
     please remove all ignore fields related to partitioning
     which have been specified.
