It will work if the file you are overriding is user controlled and closed   
before the override, then opened after the QCMDEXC.  Even without   
OVRSCOPE(*JOB).

Of course you realize that this doesn't work when the command you want
to execute is an override (OVRDBF, OVRPRTF, etc.) unless you use
OVRSCOPE(*JOB), which can be risky.
