Anyone found a method of changing the record length of a Source
Physical other than copying it?

I have a bunch with the 92 length and would like to change them to
112 but neither CHGSRCPF or CHGPF will do it as far as I can tell.

ALTER TABLE and CHGPF SRCFILE(named) will enable that. The SQL is simplest, since most SRC-PF will not have, were not created using, DDS source; if they have source, probably best to modify the source and use CHGPF.
