IMO that's the best way to do it.

OVRDBF LVLCHK(*NO) is an accident looking for a place to happen.  Some of
the other suggestions didn't have any particular vulnerabilities but would
be confusing to someone else trying to figure what is happening.  If/else
probably eliminates the need for any overrides, particularly eliminates
LVLCHK(*NO), eliminates the need to create tricky logicals, and is obvious
to anyone looking at the program.  I would imagine that you can spare the
extra milliseconds of run time because of the IF processing.

The only suggestion I would have, which you may have already done, is to
make the two files USROPN and only open the one that you are going to use.
