Why we need to give File and To file Names While we are using
OVRDBF. What is your understanding related to this?

Answer Posted / henry

without File name we cannot use OVRDBF adn its a mandatory
field. Also remember that the file which you used in OVRDBF
also must be present in the system. Else your RPG pgm will
not compile...Generaly if the file is multi member file
(some companies used to store they yearly/monthly
transactions in diff members) and if you want to access
specific member then it's a great deal.
