Ron,
If you have not done so, you might want to join the IMS List for this type of
question. It will probably be a better place to ask

When posting remember to include your level of IMS, z/OS

If the field is to drop is not defined to IMS, IS is not aware of the
change at all. If the field is defined to IMS, you should check why. It
might be a key or search field and shouldn't be deleted unless you change
the database definition, unload and reload the data. You should consult
your DBA
