   The queue manager does not actually track files by name, it
   tracks them by device name and file ID.  When you look at the
   queue, it uses the FID to look up and show you the name.

   In this case the file header contains the name FOR010.DAT, but does
   not point to a valid directory.  Either the directory is not
   currently accessable on DSA0:, or the file was entered as a Files-11
   temporary file.

   FOR010.DAT would be the default name for a file writen to on Fortran
   unit 10.  If it was created with the correct qualifiers, it could
   have been marked temporary, but closed with a request to spool it to
   the printer.

   Depending on what caused the ABORT, the /delete qualifier may have
   already been processed, causing the file to be marked for delete and
   no longer entered in a directory.  Deleting the queue entry will
   probably let it completely go away.  Otherwise
   analyze/disk_structure/repair will complete the delete.
