Usage of overrides in multithreaded jobs

 

You can use the OVRDBF, OVRPRTF, OVRMSGF, and DLTOVR commands in a multithreaded job with some restrictions. The restrictions are listed as follows:

• Override with Database File (OVRDBF) command. You can run this command from the initial thread of a multithreaded job. Only the overrides that are scoped to the job or an ILE activation group affect open operations that are performed in a secondary thread.

• Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF) command. You can run this command from the initial thread of a multithreaded job. Only the overrides that are scoped to the job or an ILE activation group affect open operations that are performed in a secondary thread.

• Override with Message File (OVRMSGF) command. You can run this command from the initial thread of a multithreaded job. This command affects only message file references in the initial thread. Message file references that are performed in secondary threads are not affected.

• Delete Override (DLTOVR) command. You can run this command from the initial thread of a multithreaded job.

The other override commands are not permitted, and are ignored, in multithreaded jobs.
