Basically, because the newly submitted job is, well, a new job!  Think of 
it as starting a new workstation session (not entirely accurate, but close 
enough...)  You wouldn't want workstation A's overrides, *LIBL, etc. to be 
propagated into workstation B's job, would you?  Same idea for submitting 
a batch job.

You *can* do the overrides in your RPG program via CALL QCMDEXC but I 
don't recommend it--poor error trapping/recovery.  A CL program is a small 
price to pay for a reliable app., IMHO.
