An override will not influence the creation-time reference in SQL
DDL. Overrides are for run-time and open. Albeit some functions honor
overrides [by request] to assist with open; e.g. asking for file
definitions against which an override would redirect an open for that
file name, enables extracting attributes about a file that is about to
be opened. The SQL CREATE will look for [resolve to] the named file
object and first member without regard to any overrides. For the
run-time opens, although the files named in a DML statement can be
redirected to another file, the file named in an existing VIEW can not
be redirected during run-time; the already resolved file.mbr is always
file.*first. Neither ALIAS nor DDS LF can be referenced in a VIEW.
