M204.1262  No new preallocated fields allowed

This message is probably caused by an attempt to define a preallocated field after records already exist in a file. This is not possible since the record structure would change.

Response: If you cannot work with a new non-preallocated field, see your file manager.

File manager response: Reorganize the file with the required preallocated field.
