325.0. "Modification to .MAS" by MOCA::JOHNSON () Tue Mar 13 1990 12:28

    Hi, let say someone added two new field to an already existing 
    focus master file and that the original master had two segment
    and now it was changed to one. Now with this new master file
    data can not be access gives a error. How can I reorganized the
    data to be a one segment database and not two and also to accept
    the new field or any other modification to that master file.
    
    Can someone you me the instruction for this process?
    
    Thanks

325.2Didn't quite work as exceptedBUZON::REPDISWed Mar 14 1990 12:437
    I followed the instruction on REBUILD it work find except then data
    for one of the key field was emptied. This is the field that was in 
    one segment and I changed it to another. Why didn't rebuild put
    the data in that field. Since this is a primary key I can not select
    and update it will have to done my using SCAN. But imagine I have
    over 1000 records. What happened? What can be done to resolve this?
