Can you share a bit more of what is happening?

It looks as if you're uploading a stream file into a fixed length QSYS file
of arbitrary (here 10000) byte record length.  You are able to read record 1
(the first 10000) but not record 2 (the remaining 1000)?  Are you using the
same SEPT hook to read the member as in Chapter 13 of your eBook (16
QDBGETSQ)?
