Re: exfile question

The easiest way, in my opinion, is to do an ovrdbf. You'll also want to do a RENAME on the format names, and a PREFIX on one or both of the files .
You can do the override from the command line for compiling purposes and testing.
Then once everything is set, you can put your program in a CL and do an OVRDBF again there

Am I understanding you right? The two files are identical but in
different libraries?

I need both files open together because I have to back out some changes

have access to the fields but i would have it defined twice in the

doing an ovrdbf might be the only option if i cant get to the fields in

the

file by just using extfile/extmbr.

I am curious why you need it opened twice? However, could you leave
"input" as usropn, and do an ovrdbf to "mvmndb"?
