I think that my solution might be applicable to you.
In the file, I added a field at the end (this is the only time I have to recompile all programs). It is a *CHAR file of a big length (let say 500).
I also have define a DS (Data structure) that I can /copy in RPG programs that define the content of this extention field.
So, when I need a new field (whatever the type), I change the DS and that's it.

Is SQL used at all?
