Source overlay file (FILE)

Specifies the source overlay file and library that contain the source overlay to be worked with.

source-overlay-file-name

Type the name of an existing source overlay file to be used. If you specify the source-overlay-file-name and a library name, overlay utility searches the specified library for the source overlay file. If you do not specify a library name, *LIBL is used.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL: The library list is used to locate the file.
*CURLIB: The current library for the job is used to locate the file. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
