Walden:

Why not do that? Since one of the main reasons for creating such a logical
is to select the fields that are included, then using CHGPF simply does
what is expected -- and desired. Of course one shouldn't expect the new
field to show up; it isn't SUPPOSED to. If that causes a problem, then
something has probably been done amiss in the program logic.

If I create the logical with record name different from the physical
record name and list the fields I want to include in the logical, and I
add a field to the physical using CHGPF, the new field will not show
up.

Absolutely true -- so don't do that. Seriously, if you add the fields
you need (or even all the fields, but add them explicitly, with a new
record format name) then you're free to add columns to the table w/out
messing up existing 3GL programs.
