Joep,
You can supply the file name and library as variables, just declare a
variable as a data structure and break it apart; it's RPG IV, not Rocket
Science.
On another note, if you use EXTFILE and/or EXTMBR remember that THESE ARE
NOT OVERRIDES. They are direct opens of the specific file/member. So you
don't get the same side-effects as issuing an OVRDBF command. That is,
there's no SHARE(*YES) or SEQONLY(*YES) capability. Those options still need
to be issued via an OVRDBF command.

Hm. You would have have to have a 21 bytes data structure with a '/' in the middle. The file would have to be USROPN because you can't have entry parameters in a data structure. If you just need to point to a different library you would have to fill the filename part of the data structure. There is more than a fine line between rocket science and elegance :-)
