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

IIRC the override has to be in place before the file is opened by the
program. It would appear from your code that the file is not using USROPN,
and is therefore opened at program start. Try changing the file to usropn
and open it before chaining to the file.

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
