RE: LVLCHK *NO

Frankly I'm appalled that anyone would use LVLCHK(*NO).  There is just no 
excuse for that type of approach to software design.

Recognize LVLCHK(*NO) for what it is,   

1.  Laziness 
2.  A definitive admission of the lack of Version/Change Control.

Don't do it Period. 

It's a protection insurance that "as John Hall has noted"  that the 
other platforms would give their "I-Teeth" to have.  

BTW,    Some may be suprised to know that you can change the KEYS of 
a file and it DOES NOT change the level check ID.    As well as many 
other changes to the file will not.
