changing key size

[Fairlight]

You'll never BELIEVE what Dave Andersen said here...:

Only have to change the field size for the destination table.  Do that
before data migration.

Create a processing-only report for the sources that simply takes each
record and copies the field contents to the corresponding field in a free
record in the new table.  At the point where you copy the key field, alter
the value prior to writing that field to the destination record.

Run the report against all records for each source.
