We cannot do this. The redefining length should match the one to be redined.

Hi,
I agree with gvt460. Except 01 level number u can not do it. Otherwise it will give u compilation error.

Hi Siddharth,

Yes, you can redefine X(50) by X(80) and the other way round too, but both the var should be of the same level, say 05 or 01.

U cannot redine a 05 level var with a 01 or vice versa.

However, you can also redefine fields of different type altogether. For example, redefining a character field as a binary field.
