Why no record size mismatch error?

[Lorry Litman]

Hi Martin,

I gather the domain was changed in RDB, but, were the two fields affected changed in the PH dictionary?

When the QTP program updates the RDB table, do all 10 characters get updated or perhaps just 9 of 10?

Thanx

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?
