RE: FTP from an RPG program

Aaron,

Yes.  FTP will run in a different activation group from your RPG program.
You can see this by leaving your overrides out, wait until the FTP screen is
displayed and then display the call stack.  You will need to use override
scoping that will apply outside of the activation group containing your RPG
program.

With that said, I have not explored override scoping in the default
activation group.  The default scoping on OVRDBF is *ACTGRPDFN.  *ACTGRPDFN
behaves differently depending on whether the program issuing the override is
in the default activation group or not.  Prompt the OVRDBF command and look
at the help for the OVRSCOPE parameter.  The help kind of indicates that
*ACTGRPDFN may act the same as *CALLLVL when it is issued from a program in
the default activation group.

Regards,
Stan

I forgot to mention that I do all of the overrides with calls to QCMDEXC
within the same RPG program that does the FTPing.  Does it still matter?

Thanks for your insight,
