RE: QAQQINI

Looks like the same as V5R2 - BTW I like using DSPFFD, too, instead of DBU - at 
least the DBU output shown here does not show that the fields are variable 
length - I'm sure it has a way to do it, but that is one of the things that'd 
account for the extra 6 bytes in the record length.
