AS400 and SELECT *

I am migrating from 2000 to 2005 and dts to SSIS on several projects. I have not been able to successfully (without error) pull from an AS400 table using "SELECT *". If I reference all field names, it works fine. SELECT * actually works in the sense that it pulls over all the data, but it fails at the end, almost like an unepected end of stream. Normally it wouldn't be a problem tp qualify each field, but when I do the data gets sorted. In this instance I can't have it sorted because (without going into the stupid details) the production needs to match the development to suit my boss.

Connection = .Net Provider for OleDb/IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider

Data Source = DataReader Source (I have yet to be able to use and OLE Source for AS400 without error, although my colleagues can - weird)

Here is the error I get when I change:

SELECT FieldName1, FieldName2, FieldName3 FROM LIBRARY.FILENAME

to

SELECT * FROM LIBRARY.FILENAME

Error: 0xC0047038 at DTF_LoadSqlServer_BOSS_Tebosspf8H, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE_SRC_Tebosspf8H" (4492) returned error code 0x80004003. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

Any suggestions? Is there a property on the task or connection that will fix this? Or any idea why I can't use an OLE Source to pull from AS400?

I know it may not be an answer you're looking for, but I've had great luck using the Microsoft OLE DB for DB2 driver. It's included with one of their feature packs.
