| -----Original Message----- | [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Scott Klement <snip the facts> | You can create an LF | in a different library that does the record omission, and modify your | library list and see if the existing programs blow up. You can also DspFD *RcdFmt on two different sessions, flip back-and-forth a couple times real-quick and can see-at-less-than-a-glance that the Format ID hex number will be identical (or not) in both cases. As Scott said, and afaik, the record format won't change unless the I/O buffer changes. So column header, text, Slt/Omit, sort-order, etc. changes won't change the level-check ID, on either Physical/Logical/Screen/Print files. I'm not positive about sort order, though (and wish it WOULD level check, but Usually compile/runtime errors will occur to make it obvious). For wish list: I wish DDS level-check calculation had same *PREVIOUS binder-source facility that ILE programs had, so fields could be added at end (as they ALWAYS should be), WithOut causing a level check in a pgm that doesn't need the new fields. A colleague (sp?) and I were considering possible advantages of implementing ALL I/O through ILE modules, for this reason.
