Just a guess, but you probably added some WRITE statements to the output
records.  Either of those would causing the O specs to get generated for
your files, which would cause the output fields to be extracted.  (The
outline view does a verify under the covers, and the verifier (like the
compiler), doesn't generate the O specs for any output records that
aren't used in the program.)

Or you might have added a subprocedure.  The verifier/compiler will also
generate the O specs for all output-capable files when it finds a P
spec.  It does that in case the subprocedures have any output operations
that need the O specs.  So, if you want the output fields in the outline
view, but you don't want to add WRITE statements to your files yet, you
can just code a blank P spec at the end of your source; it doesn't
matter whether you actually have any procedures.
