I suggest that you save the data in a file.

Then schedule a job over the night, or weekend that will execute the CHGPF.
The CHGPF will make the changes to the LF too.

Just a bit more info on this. The file I want to change needs to be
backed up in case there are problems as this is in production. Also I
only have a limited time to do this thru the week so I'd like to do it
now as opposed to taking up part of my weekend. There are also a number
of logicals that have to be re-compiled plus a number of programs that
use this file.

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.
