Yes sarath you are right, but in that case we need two commands ovrdbf and dltovr, and if we are repeating this scenerio two or three time thenut will be complex to handle.

Youranswer is right too.

You can also use OVRDBF with POSITON to *START . But you can only use this once inside , other wise ENDOVR and Override again.

We can define same file 2 times with different open id and then we will do RCVF with their open id and then we will read again same file after reading the 1st time with their open id

Ex. DCLF File(abc) OpnId(1)
DCLF File(abc) OpnId(2)
RCVF OpnId(1)
MonMsg msgid(cpf0864)

RCVF opnId(2)
MonMsg msgid(cpf0864)


Like this I think we can do
