(Non-technical comments here can easily apply to U2 sites.)

As with all new procedures, I highly recommend that you do extensive
testing on the target system before running on live client data.  Slam the
files that are being resized with different kinds of simultaneous updates
and see if the file maintains its integrity afterward.  I normally
recommend that a VAR test this sort of thing off of the end-user system
first, but chances are you don't have a spare AP/AIX box laying around.

Caution advised: Your client is running AP 6.1 and the software is now at a
level called D3 7.4.3.  A large number of things have been fixed since 6.1.
Manu claims RESIZE works but without running that command extensively on
the specific AP/AIX 6.1 platform with the same patches as your client has,
I don't think that statement of encouragement should be taken as carte
blanche to run the process on live data.

Before your client's system 9 year old dies with no hope of recovery or
reactivation, I highly suggest you start discussing upgrades with them, or
since you're in a U2 forum then perhaps migration is more on your mind.

And why in the wide world of sports do people keep posting Advanced Pick
and mvBASE questions to this U2 forum?!  I know, I know - probably more AP
users here than in the RD forums... :)    Try comp.databases.pick too...

Good luck
