You have two issues.  One is that the RPG program is opening CS91001WF2 and
your OPNQRYF is formatting data to look like CS91001WF1.  The other is that
there's no override for the RPG program's file.  I suspect that you need to
change the CL to refer to ...WF2. 

You need an override from CS91001WF2 to the file being opened in your
OPNQRYF, which is SODATAN.  This way, when the RPG program tries to open
CS91001WF2, it will actually open the access path created by OPNQRYF.
OVRDBF CS91001WF2 SODATAN OPNSCOPE(*JOB) SHARE(*YES)

This works because the "SODATAN" created by OPNQRYF is formatted to look
like CS91001WF2 in the FORMAT keyword.
