Can you convert a variable length field to a fixed length field in a LF?

I have a situation where I have a key field that was defined by mistake as
a variable length field. This is not a problem for ILE programs but it is
not allowed for a OPM RPG program where we need to add a new file to the
RPG code.

I am trying to see if its possible to convert the field to a fixed length
field in a logical file?

Does anyone have some feedback?

TIA

Darryl Freinkel.
