Changing a randomizer when altering an active DEDB area with the DEDB Alter utility

Instead of using the REPLRAND function of the DEDB Alter utility (DBFUDA00), you can also change the randomizer name for an active DEDB with the ALTERAREA or ADDAREA functions. Only two-stage randomizers can be used with DEDB Alter.Only two-stage randomizers (or one-stage randomizers for DEDB databases with only a single area) can be used with the DEDB Alter utility. The randomizer must not alter the data location of existing areas in the DEDB. This function allows the renaming of a randomizer or preparation for adding new DEDB areas in the future.
