RE: unknown block length

1) Is there not an MI instruction to get the length?
2) Does the exception return the length that IS available since it's less
than 10,000? Can you then re-read that length?

Subject: [MI400] unknown block length


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?
