  The following components are enhanced to support additional
  column names greater than 30 characters:
  
  1.GEN and WSL validation:
  The DESCRIBE function is enhanced to save the full column
  names to resolve the restriction that column names returned in
  the SQLDA SQLNAME field in Db2 13 are truncated to
  30 characters.
  
  2.Panel support
  A COLUMNS command was added on the 'Alter Table' Check
  Constraint panel ADB21TAK to help users include column names
  in the check constraint.
