Thanks, and one last reality check, Re: Level check failures: how much change to a file?

Thanks, all.

Only changes to the record layout should cause new file/record level

attributes such as allow null will also change the record level. Best
way is to compile the file to a test library. Verify it has the same
level id as the primary file

So what I care about is the "format level identifier," near the end of the DSPFD output, not the "file level identifier" or "member level identifier," which look like CYYMMDDHHMMSS timestamps. Right?
