Re: Increasing Field Length Issues

[Stan Brisotti <sbrisotti@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few other issues,
If you have  program described this file you must test the effect on 
field positions.  If you pass parameters that include the field you 
change you have to look at that also.  If you use embedded SQL and you 
put the information into a program described data structure you need to 
change those programs.  I also recommend that you do NOT use LVLCHK(* 
NO)  it causes problems that don't show immediately.
