RE: Why is it?

Because now you can use the %eof function instead:

c               read    myfile
c               dow      not %eof(myfile)
 ***  do something
c               read     myfile
c               enddo

To me, this is more readable code and is now the recommended way.  The use
of indicators has been reduced greatly which is a good thing for the
language.
