Is it possible to add an keyfield or field to an Physical file without changing its file identifier.
Example : - Say I have an existing physical file which is being used in 5 programs. Now I want to add an additional Keyfield or an field to it and I don't want to recompile the programs.

Yes, After adding the key field try CHGPF.
I believe adding key fields and CHGPF will not change the record identifier so here no need to recompile your programs.
