STRQMQRY results not as expected

I have a series of 3 queries in which I pass a date (calculated in CL) to
the first 2 via STRQMQRY using a predefined QRYDFN, they each create a file,
and the 3rd RUNQRY uses those 2 files.  I cannot get the *outfile to work
using the same file description as in the QRYDFN.  Why does the output from
STRQMQRY differ from the QRYDFN whether using *print or *outfile?  I want
the results to match the QRYDFN as if I was running it by RUNQRY but I also
want to pass parameters...should I do this another way?  I have
ALWQRYDFN(*YES).  TIA...
