Field expansion question

[Robert T. Repko (R Squared Consultants)]

>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

You might also have to adjust screens and reports, that contain that 
field, to make sure you have adequate space for the new field size.
