Confused - Define File doesn't match Define Screen

Yeah that was the issue, it is the first file I have encountered that had the data segment, know I know what to look for. Thank your for your time.

Screens don't "match" anything, they show (some of the) fields of the
file.  My guess: whoever set up that file decided to use a data segment
as well as a key segment..

While you're in Define files, hit D, then K, then D...

Most of us avoid having a Data segment, but it's no big deal to live
with it.
