Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS Change Management function
  produces unexpected ALTER statements when comparing the DDL used
  to define a table-controlled partitioning object against the
  DB2 Catalog:
    Source and/or target tablespaces use table-controlled
  partitioning
    Comparison results may not reflect actual object differences
    (A)Table partitioning limit key(s) have changed
