Re: Level Check Problem

I agree with Scott. I don't know why OVRDBF would not work on a USROPN
file.

Jerry, are you perhaps issuing the OVRDBF on the file name using it's disk
name instead on the name used in the program?

Not that _I_ have ever done anything like that.

Or could it be an activation group issue?

Hi Jerry,

I know that I can use OVRDBF with LVLCHK(*NO), but that doesn't work
for USROPN tables.

Why wouldn't it work for USROPN tables?! I don't really like the idea
of using LVLCHK(*NO), but it _should_ work with USROPN... I don't see
why it wouldn't!

Yes, it's compiled into the program, you can't change it at run-time.

The only alternatives that I have come up with are to either:

1. Define each table in the program and create three subprocedures

2. Rebuild the tables with the same record format name.

A few more options:

3. Use program-described access to the file. (potentially with an
externally-defined data structure.)

4. Use SQL instead of native I/O

5. Use the _Ropen(), _Rread(), etc APIs instead of native I/O.
