This is a new one to me, so I thought I'd share. Sometimes I do a full
subfile load, and usually I condition the loop on EOF on the file being
read. Not to go into a ton of detail, but this time I conditioned on
generic %EOF and I was surprised to find my loop ending after filling
one page and one record of my subfile.
Just one more reason why I always tell folks to never ever code %EOF without a file name. I've seen so many cases where this kind of thing happens - not because of a subfile normally, but just because during maintenance a programmer added another file (or changed usage of an existing file) and all of a sudden there's more than one thing that can trigger the generic %EOF().
It is an odd-ball though - first time I realized it was possible to trigger %EOF on Write to subfile was when I was building some presentation charts to show the correlation between the old-style indicators and the (then) new BIFs back in V4R2.
