Comments

• The RPG compiler generates I and O specs for externally
  described F specs as can be seen in the compile listing.  These
  generated specs are executable and are marked executed when READ
  and WRITES are executed on those particular file, record and
  fields.  Since these generated specs do not appear in your
  source, the breakpoints for these specs are associated with the
  F spec that defines the file. Since in your case, not every I
  and O spec was executed, the F-Spec line in the source was not
  considered executed.  To address this, we recommend opening an
  RFE (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/) to optionally
  ignore F specs when computing code coverage.
