Charlie Brown is 100% correct. The OVR commands instruct OS/400 that there are special temporary rules for using the file. The override command doesn’t care if the file exists or is used by the job. Just that if it is used, these new rules will be in force.
These rules are limited by the scope and will cease when the dltovr command is issued.

If the CL program doesn’t open the display file, it can’t get a level check.
