What I ended up doing was changing the program that referenced this file to use SQL instead of native I/O.   Although I have to admit, while being told LVLCHK(*NO) is a bad idea, aren't I emulating that by using SQL?

No with SQL, the DB know what and where the fields being ask for are.

With LVLCHK(*NO) you're telling the DB just give me the bytes, don't worry about what's what as you don't know but I do.
