Re: why does DSPOVR show overrides that DSPJOB does not? -- MIDRANGE-L

Gary,

I posted the code I was running. Pretty basic. I call qcmdexc to run the
OVRDBF command. The call qcmdexc to DSPJOB and the DSPOVR. DSPOVR shows the
override and DSPJOB does not.

I don't think it is an activation group thing because the OVR exists.
DSPOVR sees it. I ask because I was running some code that was not
working. I was questing if the DSPOVR was working or not, then ran DSPJOB
to display the override and it did not display. So then I spent time
looking for why an override did not exist when it actually did exist.

Hmm,
You write: " The thing is when the override is OVRSCOPE(*JOB) then DSJOB
will display the override."

You lost me there.
I don't have details about your job and program(s) [OPM vs ILE] so I'm not
sure how
activation group issues apply, but your first statement seems relevant, no?
I think an activation group can be seen as "a job within a job", so
program A in
activation group AG_A can have FILE1 over-ridden to FILE_A, and program B
in activation group AG_B can have FILE1 over-ridden to FILE_B; both
running in Job_1.
Further, any override with OVRSCOPE(*JOB) "breaks" activation group
"walls" and
applies to programs running in any/all activation groups within that job.

The thing is when the override is OVRSCOPE(*JOB) then DSJOB will display
the override.

I think it has to do with the call level of the job. On the DSPJOB
option(*FILOVR) there is a "Call level" display field. But I do not see
a "call level" parm to the DSPJOB command.

Total guess:
in the debugger you are "in the debug program activation group"
(different from "from the same job") and the over-ride in question is
not for *job, but another AG ?

When I run OVRDBF from an RPG program, halt the pgm in the debugger
and then run DSPJOB ( from the same job ) the override is not visible.
But when I run DSPOVR I see the override. What is the difference?

thanks,
