<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify the check for record format description changes (LVLCHK) parameter</h1>
<div><p>When the file is opened, the system checks for changes to the database
file definition. You can specify the check for record format description changes
with the LVLCHK parameter. </p>
<div class="p">When the file changes to an extent that your program might not be able
to process the file, the system notifies your program. The default is to do
level checking. You can specify if you want level checking when you: <ul><li>Create a file.</li>
<li>Use a change database file command.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>You can override the system and ignore the level check using the Override
with Database File (OVRDBF) command.</p>
<div class="section" id="rbafocrtlvl__rbafonoid15"><a name="rbafocrtlvl__rbafonoid15"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example: Level check</h4><p>For example,
assume that you compiled your program two months ago and, at that time, the
file was defined as having three fields in each record. Last
week another programmer decided to add a new field to the record format, so
that now each record have four fields. The system notifies your program, when
it tries to open the file, that a significant change occurred to the definition
of the file since the last time the program was compiled. This notification
is known as a record format level check.</p>
