<DIV><SPAN class=640320518-12012007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=640320518-12012007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
