RE: 36 Environment Library Issue

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

That was my first thought, but the IFF means "If False".  Personally, I
would prefer something like:

// IF ?F'A,?L'1,1'?.WKLINE'?>00000000 GOTO GOTREC

Which seems more intuitive.  I may change that, but the procedure was
written by a contractor over a year ago.  I'm trying to get it to work.

It's been a long time since I looked at OCL, but isn't your file size test
backward?  Doesn't it say, "if zero records, go to GOTREC" ?
