I have several routines that rename files in the IFS and none of them
use null terminators.

Then one of three things is happening:
1) you are relying on RPG to null-terminate for you by specifying OPTIONS(*STRING) on the prototype
2) you are using the Qlg API variants where you provide the path name and length in a structure
3) you are living dangerously

1 and 2 are safe practices but if you really are invoking the IFS APIs without null-terminating strings like path names then your code will one day fail.
