Dave,

I think you can issue an OVRDBF from within your program before you issue the Select.

Thanks for the response and thanks to the others that responded. I
did spend some time looking in the archives before sending the
original post, but perhaps I did not know the correct search
criteria. I also spent some time looking through the RPGLE manual,
the Programmers guides and the "Who Knew You could do that with RPG"
book. I was looking for something that would give me some simple
examples that I could expand on.

What manual(s) do you suggest? It seems like when I have looked
though some of the SQL manuals, they read more like a standards
manual than a how to use it manual. Perhaps a section on "getting
started" or an overview or do I just have to bite the bullet and wade
though it?

Thanks
