Re: OVRDBF - How do i check if it is successful??

Derek
The problem that you face is that you are trying to override the masterfile
WHILE it is open.
You will have to declare Masterfile with usropen, and then AFTER the
OVRDBF, put in the following code.

If %open(Mqasterfile)
close Masterfile
Endif
open Masterfile

then AFTER the $Dltoverride
put the following code

If %open(Mqasterfile)
close Masterfile
Endif

This way the override should be applied correctly.

Hi

I have a program in which i need to check for a record and with each

record

i need to perform an OVRDBF command and override the master file with the

library name.

Read File
Dow %found
Eval W@lib = Libraryname
Eval W@prod = Product Name
Exsr $Ovrdbf

Prodno Chain Master File
If not % found
Write to printer file
Endif

Exsr $Dltoverride
Read File
Enddo

$Ovrdbf Begsr
Eval @Cmd = 'OVRDBF FILE(MasterFile) TOFILE-
('+%TRIM(W@LIB) +'/MasterFile) SHARE-
(*YES)'

Call 'QCMDEXC'
Parm @Cmd
Parm 62 @length 15 5

Endsr


Now im not sure if the override is taking place!!!!!
Because for some records it prints it does not exist, whereas it actually

exist in the master file in that data library.
Is there any method through which i can ensure that the over ride is
successfull??? Or am i going wrong somewhere???

Thanks in advance
Derek
