I want to change the attribute of field or want to add new
field in existing PF but condition is format level
identifier should not change, is it possible?
Answer Posted / pramod.r.nair
Whenever a file is changed (by adding or deleting a field),
Format level dentifier is also changed, even if u are using
CHGPF. So all the programs using this file needs to be
compiled again. You can avoid recompiling programs by
setting Format Level Check parameter to *NO in command
CRTPF. But this is not a good method, since it may affect
the program.
