Re: RE: Copy book useage.

I think the problem is that different source files have different record
format names -- typically, it is the same as the name of the file, but not
always (I believe it may be the name of the file when it was first
created, so if you rename or copy your source file the new version will
have the old format name).

This means that if you override MYLIB/QRPGLESRC to YOURLIB/QRPGLESRC, you
won't have a problem, but if you try to override MYLIB/MYFILE to
YOURLIB/YOURFILE  you will. Defining the file in the program gets around
this. . . .

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. . . . :-)
