Maybe chain an OVRPRTF command in the QShell command string.

In my experience, the use of the shell's "system" utility to effect
an override is worthless because the "Run CL command" work is done
in a different job from the Find activity; the effects of the
override would not be visible. <<SNIP>> If the request to run is to
activate a CLP or similar, wherein the override and other work are
done within one request of the /system/ invocation, then an override
applies to the work it performs just as expected. <<SNIP>>

Oh! Note that with the Rfile utility, there are /options/ for pre-command [-c option] work and post-command [-C option] work, in which an override CL command can be issued in the former. That CL to OVRPRTF would be run in the same /job/ as the read\write Record File activity, to include its *open* activity to which the override would apply, so the effects of an OVRPRTF issued as a pre-command are not lost like they might be when using the /system/ utility to issue the OVRPRTF.
