The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Is there a unique key that differentiates the files from each other? For example FILEA has CO#=1, FILEB has CO#=2, FILEC has CO#=3.
Then combine the 3 PFs into one FILEX LF and do a START on FILEX using the CO# as the first key.

I have an interesting problem. From within my CBLLE program, I have a
single file defined, but the actual file being processed may vary
depending on how a user responds to a query. For example, I have FILEA,
FILEB and FILEC all identical but with different content. I want to be
able to switch between them from a single file definition for FILEX. Is
there an equivalent to OVRDBF that I can call in the CBLLE program before
I open the file that will make the switch?
The problem is that I cannot go from CLLE to CBLLE in this case, which is
how this would normally be handled.
