I’m not sure if John is saying his override to get FTP to read cmds from a
file and write output to a file isn’t working...

Or if he’s just saying he wants to override to a member to build ftp cmds
for later use by an ftp program.

Hi John,

The only other thing that comes to mind is if you are overwriting the wrong
file(s). Are you overwriting INPUT and OUTPUT?

These are used to overwrite the input and output for FTP:

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(QFTPSRC) MBR(&CUST3A *CAT 'GETDAT')
OVRSCOPE(*JOB)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(QFTPSRC) MBR(&CUST3A *CAT 'FTPLOG')
OVRSCOPE(*JOB)

I use this to overwrite the output for a *dir (DISK* command

OVRDBF FILE(DIROUTPUT) MBR(&CUST3A *CAT &YYMMDD) OVRSCOPE(*JOB)

I run the FTP command.
I delete the overrides LVL(*JOB)
I CPYF the FTP session log to another log file *ADD to keep a history.

Yours truly,

In the CL program, on the OVRDBF commands, try OVRSCOPE(*JOB).

use usroopn

I mistakenly wrote in my post opnscope, but i meant i used
OVRSCOPE(*JOB).

The file uses usropn, i first do the override then i open the file. I
also
tried *SHARE but didn't work (of course).

We're on 7.2.

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?
