Hi,

I'm having a strange problem using OVRDBF.
I want to generate an FTP script.
Pretty standard, did this many times in the past.

To generate the script, i execute an OVRDBF using QCMDEXC from a **free
RPGLE program, to point to the correct file and member.

When debugging i don't see any overrides active (opnscope is *JOB).
However, when i put those overrides in a CLLE program and i call that

from

the RPG program i do see the overrides with DSPOVR.

However, even when the overrides seem to be active they are not respected
when i open the file in my RPG program, as if the overrides don't exist.

All this is pretty standard, so i'm lost why it doesn't work now.
I don't get eny error messages, because the script is written to
QGPL/QRPGLESRC member PROOF (first member). Which is logical because no
overrides seem to be active and the file is compiled against QRPGLESRC).

I tried different things, like submitting the job, using "system" API
instead of QCMDEXC, etc.

The only difference with the past is that i'm using **free RPG now.

Does anybody know about issues regarding executing an OVRDBF with QCMDEXC
(opnscope *JOB) from **free RPG? A Bug?
