DATASET attribute in MASTER not working properly

WF 4.3.6 MRE

I have a flat file with the DATASET attribute in the MASTER. I have a fex where I would like to override the DATASET attribute with a FILEDEF.

After the overriding FILEDEF I read the flat file and correctly receive the comment "(FOC1924) WARNING: ALLOCATION OF TERR OVERRIDES DATASET VALUE IN TERR". If I add a JOIN command that is unrelated to the flat file and then read the file, the FILEDEF is ignored and the file in the DATASET attribute is read instead. I did a ? FILEDEF and the overriding FILEDEF is still active.

If I recode the overriding FILEDEF after the JOIN, it is ignored.

did you issue a CHECK FILE command in order to override the DATASET attrib, before issuing the new filedef?

Susannah, I did not issue the CHECK command. I thought that the CHECK command is only an interrogation command - how does it help?

The weird thing is that when I issue a ? FILEDEF command afte the FILEDEF and JOIN, the result tells me that the FILEDEF is active, but the DATASET allocation seems to override the FILEDEF after a JOIN. Before a JOIN it's alright. Smells like a bug.

Cheers, and Happy Commuting.
