Re: What is the best way to allow this to work?

You are correct, sir!  Eventually, a CL program gets called which changes 
the Run Priority of the job (CHGJOB RUNPTY(11)), adds the physical file 
member, then changes the Run Priority back to the original priority.  This 
CHGJOB command is  what causes the error message, not the OVRDBF.  I suppose 
the changing of the Run Priority is for performance reasons (the entire 
process is vendor-supplied) and whether it should be used is open to debate. 
Nevertheless, what would one do to allow this to work (given that the 
program itself cannot be modified)?

Thanks,

Steve
