Re: OPNQRYF and RUNQRY in a CL

I think the reason for this behaviour is the SECURE(*YES) in the OVRDBF in
IBM's CPP for RUNQRY and many other commands.

SECURE(*YES) protects the current override from any previous overrides. This
is nice for tools and worked before the overrides on *JOB or *ACTGRP level.

The solution for your problem is the CPYFRMQRYF as Chris Bipes wrote.
