Yes we can have a PF without a member. while comiling the
file we can give member option - None . which will not
create a member. But in order to store data and access it
member is required.usually we create a filed referece file
with member *None.

Answer / saravan
As I know, while creating any PF, a default member will be
created. And the default member name will be equal to the
file name.

We can create a physical file with no member when you try to
compile the file , opn. <Member if desire>. Mention it as
*none . This will have the structure and the source code but
not the data

Answer / karthik
yes absolutely. Create a PF member. Then, create a PF by
copiling option and then delete the member. You can retain
only the object and delete the source file. :)
