Re: compiling files not replacing old file

The file compile commands will not replace existing files. That is the
same for both physical and logical files. You have to rename or delete
the existing file, then  issue the create command you need. I believe
this is to protect your data in physicals and to protect your programs
from level checks for logical file changes. If you have to take
special steps to create the file, you might remember to recompile the
program(s).
