How are you trying to access them? What errors are you getting? 

Well, I ran a simple experiment. With this:

FAR.M001   IF   E           K DISK
C                   READ      AR.M001

SEU flags the lines as errors, and the compiler gives:
     1 FAR.M001   IF   E           K DISK
======>   aaaaaaaa
======> bbbbbbbbbb
*RNF0289 20 a      000100  Entry contains data that is not
                           valid; only valid data is
                           used.
*RNF2120 40 b 000100 External descriptions for file AR 
                           not found; file is
                           ignored.
     3 C                   READ      AR.M001
======>                                aaaaaaaaaaaa
*RNF0289 20 a      000300  Entry contains data that is not
                           valid; only valid data is
                           used.
and the compiler seems to think the filename is AR, and so it fails to find the file.
