Re: *ACTGRPDFN overrides don't work under system()

My best guess is that this is an activation group / scoping issue.

When you use *ACTGRPDFN, the override will apply to your current
activation group.   DSPJOB runs in the default activation group, so
the override does not happen.

Here's how I know that:

Doing a DSPCMD CMD(DSPJOB), I see that DSPJOB runs a program called
QWCCDSJC.
Doing a DSPPGM PGM(QWCCDSJC) I see that QWCCDSJC is an OPM program.

Your C program probably isn't running in the default activation group.
and, DSPJOB OPTION(*FILOVR) doesn't show all overrides active in the
job, but only the ones active at the current level.

You might try DSPOVR ACTGRP(activation-group-name-here) instead of
DSPJOB, that should show the overrides active for that actgrp...
