how to change the length of the field in a physicalfile?

Answer Posted / gautam

As per my understanding,we can not change length of a field
in a physical file using command CHGPF.Using this command
we can change number of records and so on.

If we want to change length of a field then we have to
change its source where we previously defined the size of
the field and then requires a compilation.After compiling it
we delete all logicals based on this physical file then
file is re-build in respective file groups from where
prorams use records.

Please let me know if there is any issues!
