I bet you have a line like this in printer maintenance
*  2 file | nocodes | | cat > /tmp/fpfile$$| Send output to /tmp/fpfile$$

You have a report that generates no output that does not have a defined printer 
and your default destination is "file" or you have a report that has a defined 
destination of "file" with nothing to print.
