Re: Chain doesn't set %EOF

["Paul Morgan" <pmorgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,

Had a prior thread on DoW vs DoU read loops.

Who the heck was the IBMer who said never to use ReadE?  How long ago was
the Common conference?  Possible old performance problems with ReadE?

I doubt Barbara would agree with this recommendation to never use ReadE.
