  The TS source is a UTS PBG, its index is defined with a
  PIECESIZE to 4G. One of the columns in the source table
  contains a column with NULL by default. The target TS is a
  segmented TS and its index is defined with a PIECESIZE 2G,
  which is the maximum value allowed for this type of TS.
  The column is now NOT NULL.  SQLCODEN876
