Scott,

Using overrides in ILE is somewhat different from using them in OPM:

In OPM an override (using the default value for OVRSCOPE) will work for all
other programs in the default activation group, until the program issuing
the override ends (you can of course remove it explicitly with DLTOVR).  It
will not work for programs in other activation groups (like QILE).  The
override will be automatically removed when the issuing program ends.

In ILE an override (again, using the default OVRSCOPE) will work for all
other programs in the activation group in which the override is issued.  It
will not be automatically removed when the issuing prorgram ends; it will
exist until it is explicitly removed with DLTOVER or until the activation
group ends.

If you want an override to be visible through different activation groups
(as in calling an ILE program from an OPM program), you will have to use
OVRSCOPE(*JOB).  The override will be in effect for all programs in the job,
regardless of activation group, until it is removed or the job ends.

OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) is for getting the 'old' behaviour in ILE: the override
will be removed when the call level, i.e. the issuing program, ends.
