Re: QMQRY and OVRDBF - has senility set in?

To Bill - since you already know the library - you are using it in an OVRDBF command - add a substitution variable into your QMQRY and put the library into one of the SETVARs.

I think you kind of mentioned this solution - senility strikes within the hour!

The LABEL ON is an example where an override will not assist,
[effectively] because, it is not an open. There is no DDL statement
[except for any DML statement within] that is influenced by an override
AFaIK. The library name will need to be a variable to be passed when,
or the library list managed before, the QM query request is performed.

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.
