Title: RPG: add file with same name from different AS/400 into pgm

I need to add an order file to a inquiry RPG pgm. The file has the same name as a file already in the pgm. What is an easy way to accomplish this???

Only one of the files must be open at any point in time, but a user could look at one file and then the other in the same session.

Call qcmdexc to ovrdbf and re-open the file with each read to the orders?

Note: I dont think I can use an LF to combine the files, because the second file is on another box using DDM, which is sometimes down. If the DDM file is down, I still want the user to be able to see his local orders!

Thanks!
