Re[2]: Debug eval RPGLE %BIFs

     Absolutely! Only sequential access methods are subject to EOF 
     conditions. Random access methods are either found or not found.

FWIW, IMHO a chain really *can't* result in an EOF.  It *can* result in a
not-found, but not an EOF.  So design is correct.  I would feel the same about
the setll and/or setgt ops.

Reads returning an EOF yup.  Position to returning an EOF nope.  Pls don't 
change
that.
