RE: OVRDBF

OVRDBF FILE(myfile) TOFILE(mylib/myfile)
OVRPRTF FILE(myfile) SPLFNAME(splname)

After the ovrprtf, the ovrdbf is no longer effective. So what do you do
if you have a dbf and a prtf with the same name?

Ideally you would pick one and rename it system-wide. You may have some
success with SECURE(*YES) on the second parameter, but this is not something
I have tried.

Short of that, remember that the FILE() parameter refers to the filename
identified in the source. So you could change your filename in the RPG
source (e.g. to myprt) and then do OVRPRTF FILE(myprt) SPLFNAME(splfname).
The difficulty will be in getting the RPG to compile if the file is
externally described, but you would be able to compile with the correct
override in place.

Rename it, no matter how many places it's used; it's not worth the fight or
confusion. And whoever is in charge should implement a standard naming
convention so that such things don't happen going forward.
