RE: QMQRY and OVRDBF - has senility set in?

Somewhere in the documentation, is the information that LABEL ON and related SQL statements do not
respect OVRDBF.

Not really unusual, certain CL commands don't either.

"Overrides only [effectively] apply to /open/ functions; e.g. the file
named in the FROM clause of a SELECT statement should honor a *CALLLVL
scoped override to a named TOFILE()."

Perhaps this is why I'm so sure I've seen this work before. I'm not doing
a
SELECT statement. This time my QMQRY is doing a "LABEL ON" SQL statement
-
trying to update the Field Text/Column Headings. Here is the pertinent
stuff:

The QMQRY SQL "LABEL ON" operation:

LABEL ON "filename"

("FIELD1" IS 'Field Number One
',
"FIELD2" IS 'Field Number Two
' )

The commands entered and the resulting JOBLOG:

4 > OVRDBF FILE(filename) TOFILE(datalibr/filename) SECURE(*YES)
OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL)
4 > strqmqry QMQRY(objlibr/qmqryobj)

filename in *LIBL type *FILE not found.

RUN QUERY command failed with SQLCODE -204.

RUN QUERY command ended due to error.

STRQMQRY command failed.
