Re: Issue with ovrprtf/dltovr (is this an activation group issue?)

I've got two RPG IV programs. RPGPGM1 executes an ovrprtf on file PRT1 and then opens it and writes data to it. This executes fine and no errors are generated. RPGPGM1 then calls RPGPGM2. This program closes PRT1 and then executes a DLTOVR on PRT1. No errors are generated, but when I check the overrides the override from RPGPGM1 still exists. After the DLTOVR RPGPGM2 executes its own OVRPRTF to PRT1. This executes fine, and I can see the second override (at a different level) to PRT1. However, when RPGPGM2 writes to PRT1, it keeps the attributes defined in the OVRPRTF in RPGPGM1.
If anyone can tell me what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it.
BTW both programs are called with activation group(*CALLER). Don't know if that makes a difference or not in this case, but we've had issues in the past with activation groups and ovrdbf and opnqryf.

Thanks
