Re: Issue with ovrprtf/dltovr (is this an activation group issue?)

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think you want to look at OVRSCOPE parameter on the OVRPRTF command.
This parm determines how the override is scoped. The default is
*ACTGRPDFN - you might want *CALLLVL.

This program closes PRT1 and then executes a DLTOVR on PRT1. No errors are generated, but when I check the overrides the override from RPGPGM1 still exists. After the DLTOVR RPGPGM2 executes its own OVRPRTF to PRT1. This executes fine, and I can see the second override (at a different level) to PRT1. However, when RPGPGM2 writes to PRT1, it keeps the attributes defined in the OVRPRTF in RPGPGM1.
