Here's a fun one.

On a v5r4 system, a procedure within an RPGLE program PgmC calls QCMDEXC to do an OVRMSGF followed by some processing then a call to QCMDEXC to do a DLTOVR of the same message file.

When PgmA calls PgmC, it works fine.

When PgmB calls PgmC, the DLTOVR fails with CPF9841 Override not found at specified level.

All 3 programs, PgmA, PgmB, and PgmC, are RPGLE programs with ACTGRP(*CALLER).

At the time of the error, the call stack shows that all 3 programs are in Activate Group *NEW number 0000000000000016. Stepping through with debug shows that no other program is called between the OVRMSGF and the DLTOVR.

The usual recommendation is to put OVRSCOPE(*JOB) on the OVR* command and LVL(*JOB) on the DLTOVR.  However, at v5r4 and v7r3, the OVRMSGF command does not have the OVRSCOPE parameter.

Another possibility was that something else had deleted the override prior to the DLTOVR in question. Doing a DSPJOB option 15 to display overrides when the error occurs shows the override still exists.

Anyone have any ideas?
