Re: Running with LVLCHK *NO in production

As long as -all- the programs were recompiled, and all of them were 
running properly, you should be able to CHGPF LVLCHK(*YES) [can you 
do that?], and be right with the world.

This would also protect against that one stray program that had NOT 
been recompiled, and was lurking for the right moment to wreak havock 
on your data!
