Review the OVRSCOPE() parameter, and then explicitly specify the appropriate special value on that parameter in the generated command string.

So here's the situation, and my lack of understanding of how
things work at the call stack level I think is the problem.

I have a program, in that program I use QCMDEXC to create a new
member on a physical file. Then I do an OVRDBF to that member.
I then call another program - yes program, not a module or
service program, to write some records to that file. Then I call
a procedure from a module that is bound to my program to do some
stuff and read from that member I just created and populated.
The problem is that the called program isn't writing to the
member I created, its writing to the *FIRST member of the file.
My bound procedure is looking in the member I did the OVRDBF to
but its blank.

Can someone explain why the called program doesn't retain the
OVRDBF to the proper member and what I can do to fix this? Is
the only way to do it by passing the member name to the called
program so it can do its own OVRDBF?
