I am wondering if you are also including on the first OVRPRTF
SECURE(*YES). Doing that stops the override in program B from having
any effect.

Sorry, John, but I think it is the other way around, so to speak: it is
the (implicit) SECURE(*NO) on the the override in program B which makes
the override in program B ineffective. Consider ...

Outer program ...

pgm

/* three overrides, only the last one secure(*yes) */
ovrprtf one outq( a_outer )
ovrprtf two outq( b_outer )
ovrprtf three outq( c_outer ) secure(*yes)

/* call inner program */
call aa4382

endpgm

inner program ...

pgm

/* three overrides, only the second one secure(*yes) */
ovrprtf one outq( a_inner )
ovrprtf two outq( b_inner ) secure(*yes)
ovrprtf three outq( c_inner )

/* show results */
dspovr

endpgm

and screen images ...

Quoting Adam West <adamster@xxxxxxxxx>:

I have CL program-A,
pgm
program-A.

Overprtf outq(A)
Call rpgprogramA




Call program-B ( a CL PROGRAM)

Endpgm



This is program-B
pgm
Overprtf outq(B)
Call rpgprogramB
endpgm
BUT the outq of the second CL goes to the first outq - outq A

I need them to split. I have played around with the Ovrscope
parameter but then when I make that *job or *Calllvl, the both
outputs go to Outq B.

WHat am I missing to have them split off?
