As others have pointed out, you need to check the syntax of your DDS source.

Also, I believe that S/38 logicals default to FIFO order for records with
duplicate keys, whereas the AS/400 default is essentially an indeterminate
order (this broadens the opportunities for sharing of access paths).  This
is from memory, check the S/38 Environment Programmer's Guide/Reference for
verification.  If you have any LF's where it matters, you can specify FIFO,
although I don't remember if it's a DDS keyword or a CRTLF/CHGLF parameter.
