Hi Justin

I'll take a WAG at this. You probably all this, but ...

When you create a view, all you have is the SELECT statement encapsulated in what is basically a logical file - with no data, no entries.

There is no connection to any kind of override when the view is used - the SELECT statement is run at that time.

So maybe create an ALIAS and refer to that instead of the PF in the SELECT statement.

Maybe???

I have a view that joins three PF's. I now need to override one of those PF's. We tried OVRDBF, but it doesn't seem to. Any way to get there from here?

Thanks
