1st we need to be clear where the need come into picture for adding a field.
Suppose
1-Q) If needs add a field any where in the record structure is fine , then.
1-A)We can add a field in copy book by adjusting the filler at the end the record layout for the detailed/Header/Trailer record.
2-Q) If suppose a field is in the middle of layout and a requirement came like to add a sub-field under the group field which is in the middle of layout.
Then we can add but the layout field positions will get changed due to inserting a field in middle of structure. so here impact is more and changes as well more.
3-Q) After adding a field either as per the option 1 or option 2 , needs to be look in all programs where do we have used the copy book and those all programs needs to be changed accordingly and re-complied with new copy book to get the new load.
might be i have wrote bit more for your understanding... thought it would be helpful.
