S/36 files are no different to any other program described file.  So .....
Most likely cause is that you have local copies of the file's fields defined
in the subproc but are not doing a read/chain with the DS as a result field.
Unless you use the "into DS result" option, I/O will _always_ use the global
fields.  If the same fields are defined in the subproc then the subproc code
will see the local fields but not the data.

That would explain why changing it to a program works, since everything is
then using the global variables.
