<div><p>Some redirection combinations present special problems due to the
specific characteristics of the device.</p>
<p>In particular:</p>
<ul><li>You should not redirect save files.</li>
<li>You can redirect nonsequentially processed database files only to another
database file or a DDM file.</li>
<li>You can redirect Display files and ICF files that use multiple devices
(MAXDEV or MAXPGMDEV &gt; 1) only to a display file or ICF file.</li>
<li>Redirecting a display file to any other file type, or another file type
to a display file, requires that the program be recompiled with the override
active if there are any input-only or output-only fields. This is necessary
because the display file omits these fields from the record buffer in which
it does not use them, but other file types do not.</li>
</ul>

<div class="parentlink"><strong>Parent topic:</strong> <a href="rbal3redirect.htm" title="File redirection lets you use overrides to direct data input or output to a device of a different type; for example, to send data that was intended for a diskette to a printer instead. This use of overrides requires somewhat more foresight than the override applications listed above, because the program must be able to accommodate the different characteristics of the two devices involved.">Redirect files</a></div>
