SQL doesn't support that form of override.  SQL has no concept of multi-member 
files.  
You can fake it by overriding to a specific member or by using CREATE ALIAS to 
point to 
a specific member but I don't believe that can be a dynamic assignment.  A 
dynamic 
override seems to be a better fit than attempting to create an alias for what 
is 
probably a single use.

This is probably a perfect example of where native I/O is a better choice than 
SQL.

Simon Coulter.
