I figured all bets are off on row adds. That's a much smaller set of programs, so those would be done up front.

Thanks

Be careful about new records created by the old programs.  The new area
101 to 120 will probably not be properly initialized.  You need to either make sure they are defined with default values or write a short trigger to initialize the fields properly.

Given an S/36 flat file 100 long and an RPG program with F-specs defined for update with O-specs. If the flat file is lengthened to 120, what if anything will happen with existing programs? I believe that since positions 101-120 aren't defined, they'll be untouched. I'm looking for a second opinion. What do you guys think?
