Re: DSPOJBD (field length changes) V5R3 to V5R4 help needed

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Here is what it says in the V5R4 Memo To Users:

Output file (OUTFILE) changes Applications using LVLCHK(*YES) might be 
affected by changes to IBM-supplied system output files in this release. 
IBM commands and APIs that generate database output files add new fields 
to the end of record formats for additional information returned each 
release. Adding new fields to the record format, even to the end of the 
record, changes the level check value for the file. This may cause an 
application with LVLCHK(*YES) to fail with a level check error. If a 
level check error does occur, please review the application to determine 
which system file it uses. New fields have been added to IBM-supplied 
database files in each release of AS/400® and iSeries.
