Subject: how to test using MIMIX mirrored files


I want to run a test program using output files in my personal library, but
with input from production data.  A convenient place to get production data
is from copies of production files created by Mimix.

Mimix has a lock condition of *EXCLRD for CUSTFILE.  The program I am
testing opens CUSTFILE as update, but I want to OVRDBF FILE(CUSTFILE)
INHWRT(*YES) so that any updates will be ignored.

Unfortunately OS/400 will not allow this override to ignore updates - I
cannot seem to get past the OPEN CUSTFILE in the RPG program.

Is there a way I can use these files when testing my pgm changes???

Thanks!
