13 - Both VISITNUM and VISIT must be populated.
14 - All variable values must be found in the associated codelist. (Generalized from specific checks like R4043.)
15 - Matched pair(s) in DOMAIN not found in codelist pairs. (The individual values might be valid on their own, but if the pair isn't valid, then it's an issue. i.e. LBTEST = BASO and LBTESTCD = Blood Urea Nitrogen )
