Omit/select in a logical file's dds

This has me talking to myself.

I have a simple physical file with 300 records and 8 fields. It is non-keyed.

There is a logical file over it with a non-unique key field of 6 digits.  I can 
chain to the file and find the records I want.  I can set lower limits and the 
file is set to the right place.  

But if I add in two Omit statements I can't get a successful chain, and setting 
lower limits sets the file at the lowest key in the file, not the lowest key 
that meets the criteria of the setll.  The Omit statements omit the record if 
two other fields do not compare to the values in the dds.

RUNQRY against the file selects correctly and orders the file correctly.

So why can't I get a successful chain when the Omit statements are in place?
