Well obviously, you have to add the field to the source. Then you execute
the command CHGPF, specify that new source to change the file.
Basically the command, moves the data to a TEMP file, then recompiles the
source file (as you would for creating a new file), then maps the data back
from the temp file to the new updated file.
It just does all the steps for you.

Yes but I don't see how you can add a field to the file using CHGPF.

If you have an existing Physical File, and you change the source for the
physical file, you can do a CHGPF (Change Physical File) command so that
you can change the attributes of the PF OBJECT to match the source.
You've never encountered that command before? It saves you time because
you don't have to recompile the PF and copy the data back into it.

Not sure of what you mean by CHGPF, what would you be changing w. that
command?

Subject: Changing a PF
Need some help with changing a PF. I have a file with 3.5 million
records. I have changed the DDS to include a new field at the end of the
record. Does anyone know if it would be quicker to rename the file,
recreate the PF and copy the records from the renamed file to the new
file OR do a CHGPF on the old file.
