RE: Problem with OVRDBF from a RPG program

["Ross Hartford" <ross.hartford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't show you "F" spec for the file but I assume that it is not user
controlled.  The open to the file must be user controlled.  After the call
to QCMDEXC, then open the file.  Your override should be in effect then.

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?
