I'm having trouble accessing a file in a service program. Are there any tricks? It seems the ER and EOF indicators are not coming on when the record is not found. I also tried the %bifs of $eof and % found and they didn't work either. Any sugesstions?

Also, after a successful chain, the field values are all blank or null.

No tricks. Using files in service programs works so the problem is in your code.

Usual cause is forgetting that file fields (generally) have global scope and providing local variables of the same name (e.g., via a data structure) thus "overriding" them.

If that's not the cause you'll have to post a code sample that manifests the problem.
