Why no record size mismatch error?

[Thomson, Martyn]

I increased the size of a domain from 9 to 10 chars. 2 fields use the domain and appear in 440+ tables.

Why does a QTP procedure not recompiled in years still work? It's accessing one of said tables and a view of another. Surely it should generate a runtime error?

Powerhouse  8.40G
