I can not see the context for the subject post [should it be a Re: subject?], so I expanded the subject... and I offer up some comment in case it might assist.

Verify that all of the logical files over the file have at least one member. As I recall, a row is output for a request to DSPFD TheLib/TheFile TYPE(*MBR) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) even when the file has no members. Because there is no member, the member name is blanks. This is done because some details that are worthwhile [not very relational] for the file [that would be the same] across any member that could exist, if a member were to be added. This anomaly must be coded around to avoid the condition, where the blank member name might be used to populate a variable for a command or program invocation; i.e. typically, just skip the row with a member name as blanks, when an actual member name is required for the function to be performed against a member.

Hmmmm... or perhaps more likely possibility, now that I looked closer... is that the second DSPDBR is producing a row where the Library Name is blanks. That is a valid transient condition, for CREATE or DROP of a logical file being performed under commitment control. However there are known cases where the transient condition becomes accidentally permanent due either to a crash or a defect for which built-in recovery does not properly dispose of the tracking of the LF to the file or member. Issue the DSPDBR MBR(named), DSPDBR MBR(*NONE), DSPDBR RCDFMT(named), and see if any unexpected blank values appear for the 'Library' column of any row of information presented.

But that looks unlikely too... given NEWOBJ() is more likely coming from a file name.? Not sure... so again, by looking at the DSPDBR output [invocations noted above], review for an unexpected blank name in a file name.

Note: there is a rename API which enables renaming an object to blanks [or effectively any potentially invalid name], albeit unlikely origin for this... or so I would guess.

Regards, Chuck
