Maybe a hacker or unauthorized user.
Maybe some user on PC has some spyware problem.

Just be thankful that it is adding a garbage record, as opposed to garbaging your good data.

The field names listed were all from our database files.
We found a source member with over 20,000 lines of code, writing
the *all'X' or *all'9' to every field in many files, always writing a single record,
then going on to next file.
To me it looks like generated code, perhaps a testing or documentation product.
We are trying to determine which product did it, and that may lead to who did it.
The system has either demo or active license to many products (DBU, Sequel, X-Analysis, WRKDBF, and several more).
Via google I did find a similarity to a free tool PRTPRTF which prints sample pages
of external print files for documentation, but have not found that tool on the system.
No pgmr has admitting creating this. I'll not further describe the event, but this
did create an operational problem at this site.
