valuable for debugging this sort of problem as STRDBG, in my world.

That was along the lines of what I was thinking when I mentioned using a job trace. A trace might show that the program was doing a shared open; no overrides required to access the wrong data. If the file with the same name were already opened /shared/ [member attribute SHARE(*YES); need not be from an OVRDBF], irrespective the position in the library list, then the program would be effecting a shared-open instead of a full-open and its I\O would be against the first file opened with that name.
