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

Derek,

Crispin mentions it. But let me reiterate, using the EXTFILE (plus you still
need USROPN) keyword on
the f-spec would be a better choice here.

With EXTFILE(fileNameToOpen), your code becomes

Read File
Dow %found
Eval filenametoOpen = %trim(Libraryname) + '/'
+ %trim(ProductName)
open masterfile
Prodno Chain Master File
If not % found
Write to printer file
Endif

close Master File
Read File
Enddo

HTH,
Charles

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


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
