a significant attribute changes.
I'm not saying you're wrong, only presenting a different opinion. In
fact, I agree that using LVLCHK(*YES) and EXPORT(*ALL) provide protection.
For practical considerations, I have used LVLCHK(*NO) rather than
compile thousands of programs that don't need the new field. Likewise,
I use hard signatures over EXPORT(*ALL) to avoid locating and
recompiling every consumer program.
It may not be best practice, or even good practice, but it sure is
practical. When an expert takes a short cut, he's efficient. When an
apprentice takes a short cut, he's sloppy. I guess it depends a lot on
the composition of the staff that determines the relative merits.
