Hello,

I have a manual master dataset(Turbo Image) that needs to have the size
of a field expanded and here
is how the dataset presently looks:

SET NAME:
   STYLE,MANUAL

      ITEMS:
         STYLE-ID,                 X10           <<KEY ITEM>>
         STYLE-NAME,           X10
         STYLE-FRONT-BTN,  X12
         STY-SHOULD-PAD,   X2
         STYLE-LAPEL,           X6
         FILLER4,                   X4
         STYLE-LOWER-PKT,  X10
         STYLE-VENT,             X6
         STYLE-SLEEVE-BTN,   X6


The STYLE-NAME field needs to be increased in size by 4 and I want to
use the space from FILLLER4 by deleting it 
and then increasing the STYLE-NAME fleld by 4. So in adager I would:

Delete FILLER4
Increase STYLE-NAME from 10 to 14

My dataset will then look like:

SET NAME:
   STYLE,MANUAL

      ITEMS:
         STYLE-ID,                 X10           <<KEY ITEM>>
         STYLE-NAME,           X14
         STYLE-FRONT-BTN,  X12
         STY-SHOULD-PAD,   X2
         STYLE-LAPEL,           X6
         STYLE-LOWER-PKT,  X10
         STYLE-VENT,             X6
         STYLE-SLEEVE-BTN,   X6


Will this procedure affect the data that is currently stored in the 
STYLE-NAME, STYLE-FRONT-BTN, STY-SHOULD-PAD and STYLE-LAPEL fields?

I know that I will have to recompile all the programs that use the 
STYLE-NAME, STYLE-FRONT-BTN, STY-SHOULD-PAD and STYLE-LAPEL fields,
but what about programs that ONLY use the last 3 fields in the dataset

(STYLE-LOWER-PKT, STYLE-VENT, STYLE-SLEEVE-BTN) ? Can they be left
alone
as is without a recompile?

Thanks,
Stefan
