Have you tried to do an OVRDBF SHARE(*YES)? This may work. It looks like the same

Y'know, I thought the same thing, but that doesn't work, either-- the shares register properly (that is the share number count increases with each OPEN), but I hit EOF at the first read. I wonder since the opens occur in the same service program, that there's some sort of restriction on shared opens. Last time I looked into share, its design implications were stiff, so I bunked off it. In other words, I'm pretty ignorant.

I've decided to lump everything into a single module source and argue my way out of it with the client. It should be an easy arguement: "If you want it done today, this is the way it'll have to be done. We'll notate the designs appropriately.)

Thanks all for your help.
