I don't think anyone has mentioned the issue of override-scope yet.  If
your CL is a CLP and your RPG program runs in an activation group, then
the RPG program may not seeing your overrides.

See the OVRSCOPE parameter on the OVRxxxx commands.  For CLP, OPM, and
ILE DFTACTGRP(*YES) programs, overrides default to call-level.  For ILE
programs in an actgrp, overrides default to activation-group scope.  And
both types of programs can use job-scoped overrides.

If you want to issue overrides from CLP and have them recognized by an
ILE program, you have to use job-scoped overrides (specify
OVRSCOPE(*JOB)).  But then you have to make sure you explicitly remove
the override, since job-scoped overrides hang around after your CL
program returns.

If you don't want to use job-scoped overrides, then you have to have the
override command issued from the same activation group as the program
using the override.

Try compiling your CLP as a CLLE (CRTBNDCL) with the same DFTACTGRP and
ACTGRP that you are using for your RPG program.

Also, you could try stopping the RPG program in debug just before it
tries to open the files.  Set a breakpoint on the first F spec.  When
you stop at the breakpoint, do F21 to get a command line, and do a
DSPJOB or DSPOVR to see what overrides are active; also do a WRKOBJ for
the file.
