Hmmm...when I copy the statement (filling in the variables with values) from
my RPG program to interactive SQL, it works in interactive SQL. I *do* have
multiple records in FILEA with the same key value, and only one record with
that key value in FILEB.

Select * from FILEA Inner Join FILEB on FILEA.KEY = FILEB.KEY

Give me all the records where there is a match in FILEA and FILEB, and no
other records?

That sounds right. If you are seeing more records than you were
expecting, it may be the result of a repeated value in the KEYs.
Remember that join means (some subset of) the cross product of the
tables.
