Field expansion question

I have a 4.05.07 Dos based system. I need to expand the customer number
field from 6,* to 7,*.
 
This field is defined in other files and the field will have to be
increased in size in those files also.
 
I know that I have to change the field definition in all of the files
that use the field and change the indexing definition for those files to
reflect the increased length of the field. That field is used as an
index in all files. 
 
My question: Is there any file reformating process required after the
field definition changes are made? The modified indexes will have to be
regenerated. Is there anything else required?
 
 
Thanks
