Sorry to trouble you, but you still have an important problem.  %FOUND
is not set by the READE opcode. %FOUND is only set in the
context of a file operation by CHAIN, DELETE, SETGT, SETLL.  Therefore,
you still have the possibility of an infinite loop with this code.

An earlier poster already gave you the answer, which is to abandon the 
chain/reade combo if you wish to use BIF's, and go with SETLL/READE opcode
pairs.

I don't mind indicator code, I'm used to seeing it.
