RE: Problem with OVRDBF from a RPG program

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to define FILEA as user open and issue the override before you open
it.

Subject: Problem with OVRDBF from a RPG program

Hi,
I'm running into a little problem. Here's my code and I will explain the
error I keep receiving.
D CmdArray        S             63A              DIM(1) CTDATA  
D  Cmd               S             63A                             
D  Len                S             15P 5                           

C                   MOVEA     CmdArray(1)   Cmd
C                   Z-ADD     63            Len
C                   CALL      'QCMDEXC'       
C                   PARM                    Cmd
C                   PARM                    Len

C                   READ        FILEC
C    FILCFLD  CHAIN        FILEA
C                   IF              Not %FOUND(FILEA)
C                   WRITE       FILEA
C                   ENDIF

**                                            
OVRDBF FILE(FILEA) TOFILE(LIBB/FILEA) SHARE(*YES)

I displayed the override and there is an existing override to LIBB for
FILEA. When I chain to FILEA it still seems to be looking at the file as if
it is not overridden because records that I know are not in LIBB/FILEA are
being being found. Those records are in *LIBL/FILEA, but not in LIBB/FILEA.
I know that for sure. Any ideas?
