The File Information Display
You see the File Information Display (often referred to as "tombstone")
when an error occurs that involves a file. File Information Displays
give additional information about the error. File Information Displays
are discussed in the operating system intrinsics and error messages
manuals.
The File Information Display is shown in short form when the file cannot
be opened for processing. This happens, for example, when the file does
not exist in the group or account specified. The shaded portion of
Figure 7-8 shows what the short form looks like.

Once a file is opened for processing and an error occurs, additional file
information is given in the File Information Display. This information
should help in clarifying the exact cause of the error. In Figure 7-9,
for example, RPG error number 1 occurred for the file, DACCOUNT. The File
Information Display gives detailed information about DACCOUNT.
