Re[2]: LVLCHK *NO

[pcunnane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     In my last job, which was in a software house, LVLCHK(*NO) was 
     strictly verboten.  If a file had to be changed - even to tack a 
     single field on the end - all relevant programs were tracked down and 
     recompiled.  All such programs then became part of the fix to be 
     delivered.

But what happens in the case where a programmer makes a change to a 
file, eg adding a field as part of an emergency fix, 
but does not recompile all the other programs that use it.
     
I wasn't saying that its the way I would do things, just explaining why 
some packages may use it.
I agree that it does cause problems.
