I've not used portable subfiles much, but with standard subfiles it's certainly
an absolute requirement that the two different records are the same length.

You did mention VMS ? Presumeably using TYPE ? You *have* probably got two
records, but in a file with carriage control NONE. Use SET FILE/ATTR=RAT:CR,
or Joe Meadows FILE utility if you're on an early version of VMS. This will
change the file attributes permanently, and Powerhouse won't care.
DIR/FULL will give you more useful info on the file structure.
