Gavin,

The listfile ,-3 looks like so:

:LISTFILE FILENAME.GROUP.ACCOUNT,-3
********************
FILE: FILENAME.GROUP.ACCOUNT        

FILE CODE : 1030                FOPTIONS: BINARY,FIXED,NOCCTL,STD

The security is off because I wanted to see if that would make a difference (it didn't).

Thanks,

Art

Sounds like this isn't an "ordinary" file somehow.  Can you give us an MPE 
:LISTFILE filename,-3 for it?

Cheers,
