RE: Activation Groups, external sub procedures, and OVRDBF

Colin,

I ended up going a different route based on a comment from Scott Klement.

We just had some training with Jon Paris and Susan Gantner and based on that
you should be able to specify OVRSCOPE(*JOB) with OPNSCOPE(*JOB) and get the
desired results no matter what is going on in AG's further down the line.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Are you just trying to get OVRDBF to work the way it used to before the
influence of Activation Groups. I had loads of trouble with OVRDBF working
and fiddle with ACTGRP(*CALLER), (*NEW) etc OVRSCOPE(*JOB)  (*ACTGRP) etc,
etc,, blah, blah blah.

The only sure fire way that I have found to get OVRDBF to work consistently
in the old way is to specify OVRDBF with the keyword OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL).
This seems to have solved my problems with OVRDBF.

Cheers
Colin.W
