Ok guys and gals, I think this is the absolute simplest and quickest way
to solve this problem.
            CHGPF (filename) SRCFILE(srcfilelib/srcfile)
SRTSEQ(*langidshr)

Here is a peek at a file before & after using the above statement.
 SRTSEQ(*HEX)            SRTSEQ(*LANGIDSHR)
Record#  MXDKEY         Record#  MXDKEY
      2  a                    1  A     
      4  b                    2  a    
      6  c                    3  B     
      8  d                    4  b     
      1  A                    5  C     
      3  B                    6  c     
      5  C                    7  D     
      7  D                    8  d    

The MXDKEY is a 4 byte char, and is the sole key field in the file.
(Actually it's the only field!)
Pretty simple!
I do not think you will get a level check either! If you did, it
shouldn't be too difficult to recompile the program.
Well... Have I missed something here?
