Hello,

By default the RPG compiler wouldn't move any data into fields unless
they are used in the program.

That's true -- but it would ALSO be the case with the fixed-format op-code. So, unless they're using the fixed-format READ in a completely different context than the free-format READ, the results should be the same.
