OVRDBF is a solution.

OVRDBF FILE(CBLFILE)
TOFILE(LIBRARY/DISKFILE)

Use the file name that you have in your select statement instead of CBLFILE.
TOFILE is the real file name.

Heh!  Gang.
 
Is there a way to pass a variable in CL to 400 Cobol for a file name that is always different?
 
I haven't used ovrdbf.  Is that a possibility?
 
Thanks.
 
Mike
