I missed your original post because of the lack of a subject line.  Sorry!
I'm hardly a "heavy", but perhaps I can be of some small assistance.

Check the job log for any and all messages.  Nothing is insignificant.
Press F9 and see which program is sending each message
When you say internally defined, are you using I specs? "Based on" data
structure?  External DS and MOVE?  How are you mapping data from the
"generic" FILEA to the individual WFx files?
What else is CLA doing besides CRTPF and OVRDBF?  Is there another program
that manipulates WFx before RPGA?
Which obvious things have you checked?  Parameter list?  Activation group?
Current PTF level?  Batch or interactive (prior overrides?)  Library list
difference between compile and execution (all objects)?
General process is to look at the job / job log, then the CL then the RPG
