Re: Program not updating file from User Profile sign-in.

As a guess, instead of debugging, either *CALLLVL or *JOB should work if the origin of the problem is from using [the default of] OVRSCOPE(*ACTGRPDFN) on the OVRDBF. Overriding with a job scope might be excessive, and likely a DLTOVR LVL(*JOB) request would then be desired or required after the CALL completes.

Perhaps instead of debug why the invocation does not work at signon, perhaps debug why the program *does work* when called "outside" the signon. Determine for example, what "outside" means with regard to the ACTGRP() of the program from which the CALL is being made. Review the DSPOVR and WRKJOB OPTION(*FILOVR), correlating to the active program on WRKJOB OPTION(*PGMSTK) and its activation group.

What would you suggest the change to OVRSCOPE be?
Never have used this and after eading the help, not sure how.

My first guess is always the missing [thus defaulted value for the]
OVRSCOPE parameter of the OVRDBF command.
