Cathy, I'd bet dollars to jelly doughnuts that the fields in the original, existing file do not map the same as the file description you've created. One easy check might be to rename the actual physical file to something else. Then, compile your physical file description, and then your RPG program. Then, do a CPYF command, copying your renamed file's data back to the newly created Physical file. ( use the *MAP *DROP option!) Finally, start your query, and do a 2 for changing it, and just run down through the > items to see that everything is as you expect. A word of caution: wait a few hours after you have read this to actually try it. By then corrections, errors, and omissions will have been posted.

Is probably something really simple but I cannot seem to fix it.
