  ****************************************************************
  When a trigger depends upon a function or procedure that
  is to be dropped, the trigger will be dropped first.  The
  function or procedure will be dropped after the trigger.
  The function or procedure will be recreated, and then
  the trigger will be recreated.
  

Problem conclusion

• The DB2 Object Comparison Tool has been corrected. The user
  must ensure that all triggers that depend on functions or
  procedures that may be dropped and recreated are included in
  the DB2 Object Compare run.  As an aid to this requirement,
  triggers have been added to the group of schema objects.
