Re: Can someone post the link to get to the CL reference?

Hi Alan,

You're right, finding which commands ignore OVRDBF was not as simple as 
it should be. I double checked that the CPYF command doesn't say, then 
looked at the OVRDBF command, which says look in the Info Center.  Which 
I did, but had to try a few searches before finding this:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=overrides-effect-some-commands

CPYF does not appear in the list of commands that ignore OVRDBF, so 
presumably it honors the override.

You could also test it by doing an override, then a CPYF.
