RE: Override in H-Spec?

Just wondering, what's wrong with specifying the real file name in your
F Spec, it will handle the compile issue?  You are doing override in the
program so it should not be a problem at run time.

I like the EXTFILE keyword that you and Charles suggested.  It doesn't
address the comple issue (how come?) but it would work for runtime plus
it's semi-self-documenting.  They can put a man on the moon but they
still
can't pre-define file overrides for the RPG compiler.

You can avoid the CL by using the EXTFILE keyword on the F-Spec. If the
three files given are always in these three libraries, try:
FCKDESCMS1 IF E K DISK Rename(DESCMSFM:DESCMSFM1) Prefix(S1)
F ExtFile('CLOCFILE01/CKDESCMS')
F UsrOpn
FCKDESCMS2 IF E K DISK Rename(DESCMSFM:DESCMSFM2) Prefix(S2)
F ExtFile('CLOCFILE02/CKDESCMS')
F UsrOpn
FCKDESCMS3 IF E K DISK Rename(DESCMSFM:DESCMSFM3) Prefix(S3)
F ExtFile('CLOCFILE03/CKDESCMS')
F UsrOpn

You would still have to OVRDBF to compile (or create empty copies in a
work
library), but once compiled, the files should be found okay.
