Re: READE in Free form, and dow not %eof

Following code works without any problem on our system. We are on V5R4.

FXXFILE if e k disk D XX1 s 1A D X S 3s 0 inz /Free XX1 = 'O'; Setll (XX1: 11) XXFILE; Reade (XX1: 11) XXFILE; Dow not %eof; Eval x = X + 1; Reade (XX1: 11) XXFILE; Enddo; *inlr = *on; /End-Free

FIELD 1 FIELD 2 FIELD 3 FIELD 4

READE in Free form, and dow not %eof

Something is not working the way I expected.

I have a file with three keys. I want to read all records (53 of them) where key1 = the value in XX1 and key2 = 11.

Here's what I think I have done:
FXXFILE if e k disk XX1 = 'O'; // Retrieve XXFILE record: setll (XX1: 11) XXFILE; reade (XX1: 11) XXFILE; dow not %eof; ... stuff reade (XX1: 11) XXFILE; enddo;

This all works as I expect in debug *except* that once the 53 records are retrieved nothing more that I can see happens. It acts like an endless loop, but I just don't know what is happening.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.
