RE: RJE question - any old timers out there

Carl,

My recollection is that the inclusion of a data file does not need any
end-of-file designation.  The file will be included in your stream and then
control will be returned to the jobstream.  The '.. EOF' instruction signals
the end of your RJE input stream.  So your code is executing as designed.
That instruction will terminate a job even if encountered in the middle of
an input stream.  If you want end-cards included in your data, perhaps you
could send a second file which contains just those two records.

Should I be embarrassed that I remember this stuff?  Golly, it's been years.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
