The source is something called RPG Free. We are a V5R2 box, which I
suppose is running RPG IV. (Can you tell I'm not an RPG guy?)
Any suggestions as to what is going on here and what I can do about
it?
Thanks.

Well, I solved it. I had to make the source file record length 112,
not 92, and then make sure that everything past my actual source code
is spaces.
I have no idea why that worked because the rules of free-form state
that comments cannot start before pos. 81. There were no comments at
all on those source lines, so the ONLY thing that changed was that the
source line now contains room for comments that STILL aren't there,
If anybody knows why this solved the problem...
