        [And Brad Said:]  If you're using the DAG, overrides will be on the
call level, but ODPs will not.  But, if your RPG programs that use the ODP,
from say an OPNQRYF, are also compiled in the DAG you shouldn't have a
problem.  Using *CALLER on RPGLE programs wouldn't be a bad idea just to be
safe.
