Subject: Keyword to the F-Spec - How do we add a keyword to point to
the actual file and library to use
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do

and know the content is safe.
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.
