Question on converting a VARLEN field to a CHAR field in a LF

I have a OPM RPG program that I added a new file to. All the fields in the
added file are variable length fields.



I need to chain to the file and update a flag in that file.



I cannot compile the program because OPM RPG does not support variable
length fields.



I compiled using CVTOPT(*VARCHAR) but that does not convert the key fields.



Is there a way to redefine a variable length field as a char field in a
logical file?



Thanks
