Increasing Data Field from Past File Layout Database File
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 4:41 am
Hi again guys. I have an issue that maybe you can help me with.
I have a program that was written a few years ago. In that program, the varible has been declared to be PIC 99v99. The file layout in the File Section that creates the database is PIC 99v99. I need to increase one of the data field from PIC 99V99 to PIC 99V999. When I changed it to PIC 99V999, I got a program error 39 which is file is not compatible because of the increase field, the file layout has been changed.
Obvisouly I have to change the database file to reflect the increase in that field. How do I go about doing that? any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
