RE: Change to Physical File

It depends.

If you use the traditional way of accessing data via the F specs then
yes need to recompile for at least all physicals and all logicals that
include all fields.

However you can avoid recompiling by using level check *NO.  Personally
I don't recommend this as it will cause some havic with data utilities.

If you use SQL then all you need to do is test your programs to see if
their behaviour remains the same as before.   If the program behaves
differently then you need to modify and recompile.

Subject: Change to Physical File

I need some help on doing a change to a PF. After running CHGPF on the
file with a new field at the end of the file, do I have to re-compile
all the programs that use that file ( both PF and LF) or just the
programs that use the new field?
