RE: ovrdbf SHARE parameter -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The open data path that is shared is shared _within_ a job,
not across jobs.

Charles, <sigh>even I would realise that </sigh> I didn't see where I
mentioned different jobs.

David, <sigh>I thought the same thing when I read your post</sigh>.

You said (paraphrasing since I don't have the original here) that CLP (which
I hope is actually CLLE) does: OPNQRYF followed by CALL TESTPGM... and
TESTPGM uses the same filename.

Do you have also specified OVRSCOPE(some_value) on the OPNQRYF... and/or
have you utilized OVRDBF ... in some fashion? (What are the parameters?)

Also, it sounds like you're saying you don't want TESTPGM to use this file,
but rather the original. Is that right?

Since this is new development, do you have good reason not to use inbedded
SQL in your application(s)? While it still works, OPNQRYF is rather
outdated for new development (or so it seems to me, given the other
options).
