     =================
     
     1) Change the DDS for the file...but don't compile
     
     2) Use CHGPF FILE(lib/file) SRCFILE(lib/source_file) SRCMBR(source_member)
     
     Test this on a non-production file and make sure that everything still 
     works after the change, before trying it in production...
     
     Hope this helps...
