I want to change the attribute of field or want to add new
field in existing PF but condition is format level
identifier should not change, is it possible?

Answer Posted / chandrababu

I have file EMP with Record level identifier is 20A2E063B4AD5 and I have added one new field to that file.
Below are different level identifiers with diff parm LVLCHK of CHGPF.


1)3C540B0837B35 ---> LVLCHK(*YES)
2)3C54AB58D8549 ---> LVLCHK(*SAME)
3)3C554BA978F5D ---> LVLCHK(*NO)

So we cant get the same level identifier if changes any attribute or adding the new fields.

Thanks,
Chandra
