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

Answer Posted / mind

first open the source and change the field length or add
field then save and exit. now using chgpf command we can do
this without compiling again. if we increase the length
it's o.k. but if we decresed the length warning message
appear like data may be lost. in this case we can't
decresed length.
