AFAIK, putting individual null indicator fields after specific columns is valid. It compiles and seems to run OK.

Here's the DS:
D gDs ds Template
D Qualified Inz
D column1 4a Varying
D column2 20a Varying
D column3 5i 0
D column4 55a Varying
D column5 6a Varying
D column6 10i 0
D column7 10i 0
D null7 3i 0
D column8 1a Varying
D column9 1a Varying
D column10 3a Varying
D column11 200a Varying
D column12 10i 0
D column13 6a Varying
D column14 5i 0
D column15 6a Varying
D column16 1a Varying
D column17 10i 0
D column18 1a Varying

D Ds ds LikeDs(gDs)

Here's the local field definition:
D localNull7 s 3i 0

It won't take Ds.null7, but localNull7 goes right through.
