Rich (and Simon),

I just realized that the OVRDBF allows member(*last) which will cover 80% of my 
requests.  
What I will try is to have a dummy query that executes the override for the 
appropriate files and returns no data.

I will post the results.

Thanks,
John

The hitsoftware odbc driver can deal with members, but it does so in an 
offhanded way.  Perhaps you can figure out a way to do the same method in 
msquery, as it seems to be more server related, not client related.  What you 
need is a mechanism that will pass a query to the 400 unedited.

Basically, what appears to be happening is that the AS/400 SQL parser accepts 
an SQL command named 'CALL'.  You can issue a 'query' that will call a program, 
such as QCMDEXC, and you can pass it (for instance) an OVRDBF command with 
ovrscope(*job).

You can find the complete directions here:

HTH, and please let us know if it works with msquery!

Regards,
Rich
