Companies often outgrow the size of the fields in their databases, which requires a field expansion project. Field resizing creates numerous changes throughout an application. It affects fields in many files and cascades through variables across numerous programs. There are many exceptions and code-related problems that affect the scope of the work that needs to be done. As a result, attempting to perform field expansion manually for anything but the smallest databases is next to impossible. Taking an automated approach with X-Resize removes the risk of human error and ensures a rapid, accurate outcome.
