  This APAR adds support during WSL validation to identify
  and report that nullable columns cannot be used to define
  the primary key, hash key, or unique constraint. New error
  message ADB3018E is issued for this use case when "Validate
  WSL = YES" is selected during the change analyze process or
  the WSL is validated using the "V - Validate" line command.
