Good afternoon. I have a weird issue with a CL program. I have an OVRDBF command in my CL program overridng it to a member in the file. Well, the program that is called right after the override goes right to EOF. I put the program in debug and stepped thru the overrides then displayed my job to see if the overrides were in effect and they weren't! What the heck?! I've never seen that before. Obviously, the file and the member does exist.
Anyone else ever have this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris
If the program is RPG IV, you may have it compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW) or perhaps ACTGRP(QILE) or another name. If that's the case, the OVRDBF may need to be modified to include the OVRSCOPE(*JOB) parameter. That tends to be the solution for many OVRDBF issues.
Thanks, Bob. I'll give that a try.
