I have the following command:
OVRDBF VXAEMGP POSITION(*KEY 3 *N &EM_KEY)
where the value of &EM_KEY is '01 VAI_TEST '
The file VXAMEGP has 3 key fields:
Char 2
Char 10
Char 10

The field &EM_KEY is defined as Char 22.
The file VXAEMGP has 2 records that match this key value.
When I issue a RCVF command, I get end of data with no data read.
