Activation Groups & File Overrides

[Jon Erickson <jerickson@xxxxxxx>]

I'm attempting to separate a common subroutine into its own module, (MOD1)
to be bound and callable from other programs/modules.

The Module opens File1 for input.  I'd like to be able to call this module
repeatably without the file initialization overhead, yet not have to call
the module an additional time just to seton LR to close the file. 

I've tried 'OVRDBF FILE(FILE) OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) SHARE(*YES)' from a calling
RPGLE using QCMDEXC & USROPN, but the the file still is open, (Scope
*ACTGRPDFN, Group QILE), after the calling RPGLE DLTOVR & CLOSE opcode and
seton LR.

Any insight appreciated..
