  Using compare with the "Run Validate" option set to V and
  source DDL that contains a primary key without a CONSTRAINT
  keyword might result in the job incorrectly issuing the
  following error message, and ending in RC 8:
  
  ADB3018E An error occurred while
  processing the Table >schema<.>name<
  object in the statement type of CREATE.
  The column >column_name< is nullable.
  PRIMARY KEY, HASH KEY or UNIQUE
  constraint cannot be defined on it.
