Thanks guys...........
Problem solved.... it was my mistake - but one of you made a comment that made me think.
Someone asked if I was "opening the logical also".......
I thought he might have meant I had to open the physical and logical. When I went to add the SELECT statement for the physical, I noticed the DATABASE-WFLOD **should** have been DATABASE-WFLODL02.
Thanks for your help - and ideas - it made it work.....

That was my thinking also - and what the IBM ILE Cobol manual says

The code is no longer in the message and hasn't reached the archives so
I'm
guessing here ... Also my COBOL is _very_ rusty so excuse me if I'm out to
lunch.

Did you actually specify the KEY IS clause?  If not the program will be
using the entire key for the START and because it is a composite key there
will indeed be no match.  Specifying the key should cause it to only do
the
compare on the first 15 characters.
