Re: OVRDBF does not work

John,

Can you post the relevant code snippets so we can see what you are doing?

This definitely works.

Here is an example of what I'm doing at the moment on 7.3 in one of my
servers which can't afford to be kept waiting


//‚Open any Required Files
If Not %Open( Stock01 );
Override( 'STOCK01' : True );
Open Stock01;
EndIf


=====================
Dcl-Proc Override;

Dcl-PI *N;
FileName VarChar( 10 ) Const;
State Ind Const; //‚Pass True to OVRDBF, False to
DLTOVR
End-PI;

Dcl-S Command VarChar( 128 );

If State;
Command = ' OVRDBF ' + FileName + ' WAITRCD( 2 ) OVRSCOPE( *JOB )';
Else;
Command = ' DLTOVR ' + FileName + ' LVL( *JOB )';
EndIf;

CmdProc ( Command
: %Len( Command )
);

Return;

End-Proc Override;
=====================

regards,
Craig

Have you tried OVRDBF OVRSCOPE(*JOB)? That's what I always do from
QCMDEXC.

Subject: OVRDBF does not work

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?
