Overrides are sensitive to the call level. COBOL program calls CL 

program, CL program issues override, CL program ends and the system 

removes the override. QCMDEXC "knows" that OVRxxx commands are special 

and compensates (by adjusting the effective call level) so it affects 

the caller of QCMDEXC. This behaviour is documented somewhere but I 

forget now (probably in the CL programming guide).
