  ****************************************************************
  The DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS issues the following
  message for index comparisons, indicating there is a change
  on the COMPRESS attribute from 'NO' to 'NO' when actually
  there is no difference between the source and the target
  indexes:
  
  Compare index source(>schema.name<) and
  target(>schema.name<)
  (A)Field COMPRESS changed from NO to NO
  
  In addition, the following unnecessary ALTER statement
  is generated in the APPLY job:
  
  ALTER INDEX >schema.name< COMPRESS NO
  
  The problem occurs when the user is running Compare on a DB2
  9 New Function Mode (NFM) or above subsystem but the source
  version file being used was generated on a subsystem of a prior
  DB2 release or DB2 9 Conversion Mode (CM).
