Re: Activation Groups vs Overrides

Try this,

Files:
SomeLib/SomeFile
SomeOtherLib/SomeFile

CL:
OVRDBF SomeFile SomeLib/SomeFile
Call PgmA

PgmA:
Open SomeFile (opens SomeLib/SomeFile)
Call PgmB

PgmB:

OVRDBF SomeFile SomeOtherLib/SomeFile SECURE(*YES)
Open SomeFile (Opens SomeOtherLib/SomeFile)

(Note  I used the  SECURE parameter.)
