I issued the following command:
OVRDBF FILE(FAA0005) TOFILE(XXXXXXXXX/FAA00005)

The library XXXXXXXXXX is NOT in the library list for my interactive job.

Now, using STRSQL to start the green-screen SQL interpreter, I can do:

Select *from FAA0005

and get data.

However, If I try to run a QM query or a program which has embedded SQL referencing FAA0005 *without* qualifying the file and library, I get an
SQL0204 message:

FAA0005 in *LIBL type *MEM not found.

Is it safe to conclude that QM Query and HLL programs containing embedded SQL don't respect file overrides?
