Folks,
Problem:  a file is uploaded (binary) from a PC.
I need to read it in MI to parse out the data.
The size of the file is not known, I need to read until
the end. I define a record size of (say) 10000 and
start reading. I get the CVP5001 exception as usual
at the end of the file, but the last (incomplete) block
I don't get. How to get it?
