Re: OPM - ILE

["Wayne Achenbaum" <wache@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott, In the case you present the caller is opm and the IBM dft Scope for OVRPRTF is *ACTGRP. If you read the help on the ovrprtf or ovrdbf command as it pertains to to OPM(dftactgrp) pgms. You will see for backward compatability IBM forces the override from an opm to be at (*CALLVL). So you did have an overrode at the call level, thanks to IBM. Heres the excert from the Help.

  

  *ACTGRPDFN                                                              
     The scope of the override is determined by the activation group of  
     the program that calls this command.  When the activation group is  
     the default activation group, the scope equals the call level of the
     calling program.  When the activation group is not the default      
     activation group, the scope equals the activation group of the      
     calling program.                                                    

 

hope this helps,

Wayne

Subject: OPM - ILE

I have an OVRPRTF in an OPM CL pgm which calls an ILE RPG pgm running in the QILE activation group.  The way I understand it, the override should be in effect in the default activation group until it hits the control boundry with QILE.  Yet, when I look at my output, all the overridden parameters, such as OUTQ, SAVE, and USRDTA seem to have been in effect.  What am I missing?  I thought  I was supposed to use OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) for the override to stick.  Thanks for any input.
