Michael,

We get around this like so:

setll somekey myfile;
dow 1 = 1;
read myfile;
if %eof();
Leave;
endif;
setll somekey2 myfile2;
dow 1 = 1;
read myfile2;
if %eof();
leave;
endif;
enddo;
enddo;


Since the Leaves are immediately after the reads it makes it clear the
only way out of the loop is through the leave.

%eofvs. %found(file) & %eof(file) ?

I always use the qualified so that there's no confusion, if it's not
needed.

But I can see a problem occurring if the following...

setll somekey myfile;
dow not %EoF();
read myfile;
if %eof();
Leave;
endif;
setll somekey2 myfile2;
dow not %eof();
read myfile2;
if %eof();
leave;
endif;
enddo;
enddo;

The read of myfile2 will shortcurcuit the read of myfile.

We have been having a discussion about the pros & cons of these two
choices.

It would be interesting to read the thoughts of the stars and
almost-stars on this topic?
