Okay, I substituted OVRDBF with OVRPRTF.  The results are the same.
The job fails with a message "Override of printer file QSYSPRT not allowed."

It appears the system does not allow any overrides on system-defined 
print files?  I swear I have done this before, somewhere (been quite a 
few years, though), and have seen examples of doing this via google 
searches as a solution to some issues (spooled output from runsqlstm).
