The error will not be catched at that time. Dclgen will not
check the database tables and the dbrm will check the
database if it is not matched then the data exception error
will be raised at that time.

Answer / mohit
Nothing critical will happen.. I will make understand with
example below:
Consider some 2 bytes as * are before that variable as $
and then rest copybook as & , so after changing table
layout will look like:
**$$$$&&&&&& and program will layout as
**$$$$$&&&&&&. So, now what happens table always passes
something as 4 bytes to 5 bytes which easily is compatible
with a bigger space. So, you will see a space actually
which might disturb your output.
