It may be -- I've never tested it.  I thought *JOB just meant it would cross
activation group boundaries and apply to programs at the current or higher call
stack level without regard to the activation group.  Hmm, looking at the help
text, I suppose that is what OVRSCOPE(*CALLVL) will do.

I wasn't aware OVRSCOPE(*JOB) will persist and affect lower level call stack
entries.  In that case, using a wrapper to QCMDEXC would allow OVRxxx to be
effective provided you used OVRSCOPE(*JOB).  It also means you should be careful
to always DLTOVR when the program ends -- even abnormally -- because it won't go
away automagically based on the call level.  A condition handler would be one
way to do that.
