By specifying FORMAT(INVDET INVDETRC) you're basically telling
OPNQRYF which fields are "available" in the query "output" - sort of like
the DDS for a logical file.  Hence, only fields from INVDET "exist" in the
OPNQRYF output and can be used as keys.  Solution:  Create a new file
(we'll call it INV_ORD) containing the necessary field names from both
INVDET and ORDHDR (be sure they match *EXACTLY, e.g. field name,
length, data type, etc.) and use the new file's record format in
OPNQRYF FORMAT parameter, e.g. FORMAT(INV_ORD).  Then you can
use any field appearing in INV_ORD as a key for your query.
