The fundamental ILE concept to always keep in the forefront of your mind is
that programs running in the same activation group work together.  They
share overrides, open files, memory and so on.  Please remember that the
default activation group (where OPM programs run) is an activation group,
and that OPM programs currently exhibit this sharing behaviour.  ILE
activation groups will make this sharing more granular that the entire job.

Without trying to sound overly dramatic, it sounds as if you already have
decided to convert these to ILE.  Why?  What's the application need for ILE?
If you say 'my overrides don't work like they used to' then you may need to
have a stare at the ILE Concepts manual.  In any event, a description of the
intended application will give the list a better shot at an answer that you
can use in your individual scenario (instead of the vague gibber-jabber
you're getting from me!)
