Re: ILE and OVRDBF

Jon,

Our ILE COBOL/400 manual is from 1996; perhaps that's why there is no 
reference to the "CONTINUE RUN UNIT" option of EXIT PROGRAM.  With 
code/400 help, as you indicated, I discovered the format is EXIT PROGRAM 
AND CONTINUE RUN UNIT.   After replacing the GOBACK's with this 
statement, I was able to remove the OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) option from the 
OVRDBF statements in the CL program.   Thanks, once again, for your 
assistance.
