CL Command Reference - OVRICFF
CL Command List > OVRICFF Reference
Description:
The Override with Intersystem Communications Function File (OVRICFF) command overrides the file named in the program and overrides certain parameters of the file being processed. Parameters overridden by this command can be specified in the file description, in the program, or in other file override commands that are run later.
If a file named in the program is being overridden, the name of that file is specified in the FILE parameter and the name of the overriding file (the file being processed) is specified in the TOFILE parameter.
This command can also specify parameters to override values contained in the file description of the overriding file. If the file named in the program is not being replaced but certain parameters of the file are being overridden, the name of the file is specified in the FILE parameter and *FILE is specified in the TOFILE parameter. The parameters being overridden are then specified by the other parameters of the OVRICFF command. Parameters that are not specified do not affect parameters specified in the file description, in the program, or in other override commands run later.
Note: Using this command does not cause a file to be overridden immediately. Information provided on this command is stored until the file is used, at which time the file is overridden.
Examples:
OVRICFF FILE(ICFHIST) TOFILE(PRSNNL/ICFCURT)
This command overrides the file named ICFHIST to the ICF file named ICFCURT in library PRSNNL.
