So it is possible executing an OVRDBF command just before the
SELECT command. You simply have to prefix the CL command with CL:
and end it with semi colon (;), It is even possible prompting the
CL command with the F4 function key.

Does it support MONMSG? I can work around some of the overrides,
etc in the SQL script but MONMSG is a cheap way of ignoring errors. I
am seeing either that MONMSG is not supported or an error that the
parameter MSGID is invalid in the script I am attempting. Perhaps an
example where MONMSG is used?

Rather than "any CL command (that does not need an output screen)", perhaps better stated as "any CL command that is allowed in the *BATCH and *EXEC" environments.?

MONMSG is only allowed in compiled programs; i.e. the command definition has "Where allowed to run (ALLOW)" including just the special values (*BPGM *IPGM). Scripting environments [not compiled] typically operate according to a Severity Level; i.e. when an error that exceeds the maximum specified as-allowed error-severity, the script terminates.
