Re: Problem with OVRDBF from a RPG program

Griz-
I don't see all of your code, but:

You first need to CLOSE FILEA
Then execute the overrride,
Then OPEN FILEA for the override to take effect

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?
