Question:
Do I have to re-compile programs accessing the dictionary when upgrading from r17.0?
Answer:
From r17.0 to r18.0, there were changes to some records in the DDLDML area of the data dictionary.
The records changed are SYS-041, SYSMO-170 and CVGDEFS-142.
However, in each case, the changes involved re-defining existing FILLER fields or adding an extra REDEFINES clause on existing fields. No pre-existing fields were changed in either position or length, and the full length of each record did not change.
Therefore, any programs which use the data dictionary as a database do not need to be re-compiled.
There were no such changes from r18.0 to r18.5 or from r18.5 to r19.0.
