I agree Doug,  I was playing Devil's advocate.
We all know that if Toronto gave us

EVAL  %EOF(FILE)

Someone would ask for

EVAL %EOF(FILE)  = '1'

Saying,  "Well,  I can do a EVAL  *IN50 = '1'
Where *IN50 is a result indicator on the READ.

I don't agree but I think someone would "Demand it"  as being
"Consistent behavior".

That is the type of feedback Toronto gets from "It's Users"

Just like we get ambiguous requirements from "Our Users"

P.S.   keft  eh?
