Re: Commands inside RPG (was RE: authority question....)

Well, with the keywords you are not using QCMDEXC's OVRDBF, so there is 
zero risk of getting the scoping wrong.  I am sure that if you tried hard 
enough with using QCMDEXC's OVRDBF, or even worse, a CL program with 
OVRDBF in it before the RPGLE program, you can screw up the scoping.  :-)

I've generally _tried_ to stick with the older separation of control 
function idea. However, when an override is a clear part of the function 
of a program, there's no point in breaking it out into a wrapper.

Now with ILE CL, things are even fuzzier than before. One of my dislikes 
about using QCMDEXC or QCAPCMD regularly has been the interpreted nature 
of the CL rather than compiled. Procedures in ILE CL have removed that 
minor personal irritation.

In any case, how does running an override within RPG reduce concern over 
scoping, etc.? Is that primarily from the idea that default values are 
more likely to be appropriate?
