Sharing *DSPF Record Formats

Hi *All,

I know it's possible to OVRDSPF SHARE(*YES) and read a subfile
in program A that was built in program B. Is there anyway to read a
display file record format that was built in program B?
My scenario is the CL issues an OVRDSPF SHARE(*YES), then calls
program A. A then calls B and when it returns, A attempts to use a
display format that was populated from B.
I tried just doing a READ to the format but as expected,
received a session or device error. I also do not want to display the
format in either program A or B.

Thanks for any ideas...
- Steve
