The Retrieve Data  Base Override command retrieves the  override values
assigned to a  data base file.  The OVRDBF command  is passed back in a
large  variable.  RTVDBFOVR  reads the spooled  file created by DSPOVR.
The command requires an upper/lower case English language system.

A typical series of commands would be:

             DCL           &CMD *CHAR LEN(3000)
              .
             RTVDBFOVR     FILE(xxx) TOFILE(yyy) CMD(&CMD)
             CALL          QCMDEXC PARM(&CMD 3000)

Note that the &CMD value  being returned is an OVRDBF command  ready to
be run using  QCMDEXC.  This allows you to make  changes in the command
string before executing the command.

All possible OVRDBF keywords are supported.
