Some commands ignore overrides entirely, while others allow overrides
only for certain parameters.
The following commonly used commands ignore overrides entirely:
- ADDLFM
- ADDPFM
- ALCOBJ
- APYJRNCHG
- CHGOBJOWN
- CHGPTR
- CHGSBSD
- CHGXXXF (all change file commands)
- CLRPFM
- CLRSAVF
- CPYIGCTBL
- CRTDUPOBJ
- CRTAUTHLR
- CRTSBSD
- CRTTAPF
- DLCOBJ
- DLTF
- DLTAUTHLR
- DSPDBR
- DSPFD
- DSPFFD
- DSPJRN
- EDTOBJAUT
- EDTDLOAUT
- ENDJRNPF
- GRTOBJAUT
- INZPFM
- MOVOBJ
- RGZPFM
- RMVJRNCHG
- RMVM
- RNMOBJ
- RTVMBRD
- RVKOBJAUT
- SBMDBJOB
- SIGNOFF
- STRDBRDR
- STRJRNPF
Note: Save operations and restore operations ignore all file overrides
that are related to the respective media (tape, diskette, save file).
The server does not apply overrides to any server files that are
opened as part of an end-of-routing step or end-of-job processing. For example,
you cannot specify overrides for the job log file. In some cases, when you
need to override something in a server file, you might be able to change it
through a command other than an override command. For example, to change the
output queue for a job log, the output queue can be changed before sign-off
using the OUTQ parameter on the Change Job (CHGJOB) command to specify the
name of the output queue for the job. If the printer file for the job log
contains the value *JOB for the output queue, the output queue is the one
that is specified for the job.
The following commands allow overrides for the SRCFILE and SRCMBR
parameters only:
- CRTCMD
- CRTICFF
- CRTDSPF
- CRTLF
- CRTXXXPGM
- CRTPRTF
- CRTSRCPF
- CRTTBL
- CRTPF
- All create program commands. These commands also use overrides to determine
which file will be opened by a compiled program.
The following command allows overrides for the TOFILE, MBR, SEQONLY,
LVLCHK, and INHWRT parameters:
The following commands allow overrides, but do not allow changing
the MBR to *ALL:
The following commands do not allow overrides to affect the display
files that they use. Overrides to the printer files they use should not change
the file type or the file name. Some restrictions are placed on changes that
can be made to printer files used by these commands, but the server cannot
guarantee that all combinations of possible specifications will produce an
acceptable report.
- DMPOBJ and DMPSYSOBJ
- (In addition to the preceding limitations, these commands do not allow
overrides to the file they dump.)
- DSPXXXXXX
- (All display commands. The display commands that display information about
a file do not allow overrides to that file.)
- DSPIGCDCT
- EDTIGCDCT
- GO
- (You can override message files.)
- PRTXXXXXX
- (All print commands.)
- QRYDTA
- TRCXXX
- (All trace commands.)
- WRKXXXXXX
- (All work-with commands.)
