RE: ovrdbf opnqryf mystery

Rick,

ICBW, but my understanding is that the OVRDBF doesn't affect the OPNQRYF
command, in any way.  It just allows the HLL to open the result from the
OPNQRYF, rather than the file it normally would.  It's always documented to
put the OVRDBF prior to the OPNQRYF, but it works the same if you put the
OVRDBF after.

| Hey all,
|
| i've got an ovrdbf, opnqryf mystery.  here is the code:
|
| OVRDBF     FILE(VOH0) TOFILE(&MPLIB/VOH0) SHARE(*YES)
| OVRDBF     FILE(BTHCOPY) TOFILE(QTEMP/BTHCOPY) SHARE(*YES)
|
| OPNQRYF    FILE((&MPLIB/VOH0) (QTEMP/BTHCOPY)) +
|              FORMAT(VOH0 *ONLY) +
|              KEYFLD((*MAPFLD/BTCHID) (VCHNBR)) +
|              JFLD((*MAPFLD/BBTCHID *MAPFLD/BTCHID *EQ)  +
|                   (*MAPFLD/ORG     *MAPFLD/VORG   *EQ)) +
|              MAPFLD((ORG       'BTHCOPY/ORG   ')  +
|                     (VORG      'VOH0/ORG      ')  +
|                     (AUSTDATE  'VOH0/AUSTDATE ')  +
|                     (AUSTTIME  'VOH0/AUSTTIME ')  +
|                     (AUSTUSR   'VOH0/AUSTUSR  ')  +
|                     (AUSTORG   'VOH0/AUSTORG  ')  +
|                     (BTCHID    'VOH0/BTCHID   ')  +
|                     (BBTCHID   'BTHCOPY/BTCHID')  +
|                     (TRNSORIG  'VOH0/TRNSORIG ')  +
|                     (TRNCURN   'VOH0/TRNCURN  ')  +
|                     (IVCEXCHR  'VOH0/IVCEXCHR ')  +
|                     (PMTEXCHR  'VOH0/PMTEXCHR ')  +
|                     (RCURINVC  'VOH0/RCURINVC ')  +
|                     (RCURPAYM  'VOH0/RCURPAYM ')  +
|                     (APFILLER  'VOH0/APFILLER ')  +
|                     (CAFIL01   'VOH0/CAFIL01  ')  +
|                     (USEFIL01  'VOH0/USEFIL01 '))
|
| &mplib equals a valid library name.  all files that are
| overridden exist in
| that library.   the job runs without that library in the *libl.
|
| I've run in debug, the overrides exist as each one is executed.
| when it gets to the opnqryf command, it bombs with "File VOH0 in library
| *LIBL not found."
|
| If I run it with the library in the library list, it works.  without the
| library in the list, it doesn't work.
|
| I know i've done this before, but i don't know what i've done wrong this
| time.
|
| thanks in advance,
|
| Rick
