Field length changes.

[Tom Carey]

I have a client with a DOS 4.5.07 system. The Cust # is defined as 7,* in the customer file. I need to expand the other files that use the cust # from 6,* to 7,*

After I change the field length in all the files that use the cust # is there any reformatting involved or does the system take care of that for me? 

There are several files that use that field as a key, so I realize that I'll have to expand the key sort length and recreate the indexes.  I'll deal with print formatting issues if they arise. Most of the reports and screens I have looked at have room for the extra character.

Am I missing anything that I should plan for prior to making this change?

Thanks
