Hmmm.  Sounds like one or more things were left out.  Never experienced this 
myself, but I've done several /36 migrations in years long past.  First, have 
the IDDU definitions been migrated to the AS/400?  If they're not there at 
all, it would cause a problem of this sort.  Second, have you run the 
IDDULINK procedure in the /36E to link the files to the IDDU definitions?  
Once the latter is done, even DSPFFD will work against a "flat" file...
