RE: When is %EOF not an %EOF

Booth;

I would code it this way;

key     SetLL   FileName
key     ReadE           FileName

        DoW             Not %Eof(FileName)
...
key     ReadE           FileName
        EndDo

I would make 3 changes to your code based upon experiences I've had:
 
 
Partial_key CHAIN(e) FileName
   if               %Found
   eval          SavedPartialKey = PartialKey
  DOW        SavedPartialKey = PartialKey ...
...
  READ(e)  FileName
  ENDDO
  endif
 
1) I'd do away with *in88 
2) I'd do away with the ReadE.
3) I'd use %found

Subject: When is %EOF not an %EOF
 
To the list,
I seem to run into this problem every once in a while:
 
Using a partial key to perform a CHAIN and READE loop the chain does not
find any records but still goes into the loop. The code looks something
like this -
 
Partial_key CHAIN FileName 88
DOW NOT %EOF vs. *IN88 = *OFF
...
...
Partial_key READE FileName 88
ENDDO
 
If I replace the %EOF with an indicator (DOW *IN88 = *OFF and the READE
with the 88 in the "=" indicator position), it works like I expect. My
customer's box is at V4R5. Could I be imagining this or what?
 
TIA...
Eric
