I was just thinking [I have not tried this, nor the originally given scenario], what about adding any externally described file to the F-Specs [and maybe also add a user open which is never performed]? Just possibly, the compiler ignores the request to override the database file open option because there are no externally described files declared, versus more likely, that the specific open is declared as being program described.
