<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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,*</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I missing anything that I should plan for prior
to making this change?</FONT></DIV>
