How do you create the new file? Using CRTDUPOBJ, SQL, CPYF... Note: If
you are using SQL, that is probably the problem.

Subject: Level Check Issue
We have many files that are recreated each fiscal and calendar year end.
They are mainly detail files for A/R, O/E, and so on. The format of the
files is XXXYYN where XXX is related to the system, YY is the current
year, and N is any logical files. All of the files for the new year are
created automatically whenever a program that needs to update the detail
files runs in the new year. They are all built off of a dummy file.
As an example, our detail order entry file for 2007 would be OET07. The
first program that tried to add detail in 2008 created OET08. All of
these files have been built using a dummy file, OETXX. This file hasn't
changed in years. The problem started showing up as we convert all the
legacy code to external files.
Almost all of the programs that use the detail files have the XX version
in the file spec (OETXX if we follow the above example). It seems that
everytime a file gets created for the new year, nothing but level
checks.
The program is compiled with OETXX and the new file is created using
OETXX.
The only way to get around it is to compile with level check no, which I
don't want to do.
Any thoughts?
