Elvis, thanks for the pointer, but I don't think it will give the needed
information.  

>From the page:
The Retrieve File Override Information (QDMRTVFO) API returns the name
of the file, library, member and final type of override that result from
processing TOFILE or MBR overrides for the user specified file name.

A look at the returned parameters:
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/qdmrtvfo.htm#HDROVRL1>

indicates that this is the only information returned.  

In my case, I need to know the details of the override - the output
queue, number of copies, whether to save the spooled file, and so on. 
Currently, the only way I know to gather that info is DSPOVR *PRINT.

Any further info appreciated.
