RE: Level Check

If I understand correctly, you compiled a program over a file in TESTDATA
and then executed it over a file with the same name in PRODDATA, correct?  

Was there any difference between the files in TESTDATA and PRODDATA other
than the library?  If not, then this behavior is correct and expected.
Level checks only occur when a program is executed over a file that contains
a material difference from the file over which the program was compiled.  A
material difference is considered to be one of the following:

Different number of fields, 
Fields with different names, and
Fields with identical names but different attributes, such as being
character instead of numeric.

A different record format name may also be considered in that list, but I'm
not certain. 

The final criterion for issuing a level check is the file has to be compiled
with LVLCHK(*YES) or an OVRDBF command has to be issued to that effect.

He said definitely a program compiled over testdata will not look at the
proddata file for a level check AND since I was running it over proddata,
the program would not even check the file over which it was compiled.

But I am here to tell you ... it happened. I did not get a level check and I
can reproduce it.
