An issue like a dictionary change should be a planned change that you 
take into account and review your code if needed. Any changes to 
existing items in the dictionary is asking for potential trouble. As far 
as adding new items, I only see a problem if you create an element name 
that already exists in your database or perhaps as a defined or temp item.

The only change problem I recall having is for items passed between 
screens and Oracle packages. I feel silly when those crop up. They have 
been very rare. A recompile does not find those because they require you 
actually run the code.

Perhaps I've just not been bitten in a way to appreciate your extra 
zealous recompiling schedule. :)

Yea. I'm wondering if I've forgotten what can be affected by dictionary 
changes. ;)
