Error description
When customer is adding an index to an item type and the index has multiple attributes and one of them is not unique, the create fails with a -542 sql code. This happens because LS is required to add a Constraint given all attributes of the index are unique. But if one is not, then the constraint fails. This is causing a RC=8 and causing customer problems even thought the RC=8 could be ignored.
Local fix
Ignore -542 given attribute in index can be nulls and constraint is not needed.
