== Why is this an issue?

While a file I/O call will compile without a file name, such code is almost always an error. The omission of the file name, can cause unexpected results in multi-file programs.


=== Noncompliant code example

Perhaps this only applies to some (one?) compilers...?


I'm fine to drop this rule if you like.

All RPG IV references I could find define the "name" operand as required (e.g. \http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925083696.htm#HDRZZREAD).

Maybe this rule applied to RPG III, but we don't support RPG III.

I would drop this rule.
