What is the override scope? *JOB, *CALLVL or *ACTGRP (Default).
If it is *ACTGRP the override will only work within the new activation group, if it is performed within the program that is executed within the *NEW activation group or in one of the called procedures within the service programs created with activation group caller.
If the override is performed before calling the program, the override will only work for the activation group in which the override is performed ... and not within the *NEW activation group.
The best choice is to perform the overrides with *CALLLVL, then it works for all programs, procedures later in the call stack independent of the activation group in which the programs or procedures/service programs run.
If the override scope job is used, the override works for all programs or service programs executed within the job (like formerly for CLP and RPGIII programs) independent of the activation groups.

Subject: OVRDBF et activation groups
Hello,
I modified a CLP by adding DCLPRCOPT DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*NEW). The subsequent programs are compiled with ACTGRP(*CALLER). Why aren’t my OVRDBF functioning any longer ? They aren't even visible when working with the job at the same level as the program that issued them.
Also, I put RCLACTGRP ACTGRP(*ELIGIBLE) at the end of the program and noticed while debugging that no activation groups were eligible for reclamation. Would that be because I used ACTGRP(*NEW) ?
Thanks
