Re: LVLCHK *NO

I rather get a message telling me that the file has changed, than who
knows what strange result.  I belive it will be practicaly impossible to
check aver all the imlications of a change in a field, specialy output
layout, but not less the results of arithmetic.

In my opinion, if you like the lack of need to recompile when you make
changes to your file, you can set NOLEVELCHK as default for ths file
create.
