Hi Buck,

You can open the exact same access path and share the same file cursor between two programs. Program 1 does a READ and program two is positioned to the same record. OVRDBF SHARE(*YES).
Wait a minute Buck, let me clarify something.If I read RRN# 456 in file FILEA in program PGMA with a shared ODP override, then when I call PGMB, the same values will occupy the same record field values in PGMB?
Just getting reassurance, I just always thought it was safer practice to pass the values back and forth in a data structure in such cases, though obviously I've had occasion to pass the football back and forth between caller and called.
