Problem with creating a LF..

Has anyone else noticed this strangeness with CRTLF...:

We are on Version 4 Release 4 of OS/400....


When we build a logical file over an entire physical file (no physical file
member is 
specified), then  the logical file is created as expected. If we specify a
physical file member, 
however, the file is created differently.

Example: Logical file UAGNPTX is created over physical file UAGN. 
The UAGN file has 6 "buckets" that represent the different aging periods on
the system. 

A sample layout would be:

1) UAACT - Account Number
2) UAUTL - Utility Type
3) UAAG1 - Aging Bucket 1
4) UAAG2 - Aging Bucket 2
5) UAAG3 - Aging Bucket 3
6) UAAG4 - Aging Bucket 4
7) UAAG5 - Aging Bucket 5
8) UAAG6 - Aging Bucket 6
9) UAPT1 - Payment Priority 1
10) UAPT2 - Payment Priority 2
11) UAPT3 - Payment Priority 3
12) UAPT4 - Payment Priority 4
13) UAPT5 - Payment Priority 5
14) UAPT6 - Payment Priority 6

Each account would have multiple utility records.

Logical file UAGNPTX exists to put the aging buckets in payment priority
order. 
It has six formats arranged like:

1) UAACT 
2) UAUTL
3) PRTY1        RENAME(UAPTx)
4) AMT1 RENAME(UAAGx)

Where "x" represents bucket 1-6.

When we create the physical file in library QTEMP, and then create the
logical file over it, 
the logical file has 6 records for every record in UAGN (one for each
priority). This is what
I would expect.

If we create the physical file in one of our files libraries, and this file
has multiple members
(one for each interactive job id on the AS/400), the resulting UAGNPTX file
only has one 
record for every record in UAGN. This makes the payment allocation by
priority feature
of our application fail. 

The only difference between how the files are created are the following
parameters on the
CRTLF command:
        
                (this works)

Physical file data members:                      
  Physical file  . . . . . . . .   *ALL                 Name, *ALL
    Library  . . . . . . . . . .                        Name, *CURRENT
  Members  . . . . . . . . . . .                        Name, *NONE
        
                (this doesn't)

Physical file data members:                      
Physical file  . . . . . . . .   UAGN                   Name, *ALL
Library  . . . . . . . . . .           P1FILES             Name, *CURRENT
Members  . . . . . . . . . . .   QPADEV00H8       Name, *NONE
