Joe, It's been this way since the beginning.  How else can (say) RPG
retrieve an output-only subfile record on a CHAIN?

By the bye, the documentation for this behaviour can be found in the
Information Centre, Printers and Devices, Application Display Programming.

See page 4-9 (actual page 141) for V5R1.  One thin paragraph "All named
fields in a subfile record, including fields that are not input-capable, are
returned to the program."
