some options:
1) maybe use a different file/logical file between pgms
2) maybe use embedded sql to avoid "clashing" cursors

Subject: ovrdbf scope
I would like to
OVRDBF FILE1 position(*KEYAE 1 *N &File1Key)
Loop1: RCVF
Process record ...
Call pgmB (which happens to read and reposition FILE1 cursor)
If not EOF goto loop1
...
When the pgm loops back to Loop1, the cursor has been repositioned by pgmB, which messes up my loop.
Is there anything I can do with the top OVRDBF to ensure that it ignores any repositioning of the file cursor in programs down the stack?
Or must I save off the key values and reposition the file with another ovrdbf?
Thanks!
