We are working with some old style programs that use the same file defined
twice in the program. Once for inquiry and the second for update.

Usually, before compiling one would use a OVRDBF command pointing the second
file to the actual file. Example:

File_1

File_1A

The OVRDBF would be FILE_1A to FILE_1.

There is a keyword that one can use in the F-Spec that saves you from having
to use the OVRDBF.

What is the keyword we could use on the F-SPEC keyword.
