RE: Program Generation Level

Ok.  We have an exception.

And it was for One program.

And they did it very safely.

If you must have extra-maritil sex, have safe sex.  And Don't 
get caught!

Aeons ago, News/38 published a utility UPDQRYF that changed an
RPG compiler message severity from 10 to 8 so their utility 
would
compile.  QRG5182 got copied into another message file, and the
utility used OVRMSGF to point to the alternate msgf.

The message in question is: Length of Data Structure in Result 
Field not
equal to record length of file in factor 2.

If I absolutely HAD to change the GENLVL, this is the mechanism 
I'd
use to do it...
