RE: %EOF

["Stone, Brad V (TC OASIS)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why would I?  It's a priming read.  Performance is not an issue (only
happens once).  Readability may a reason be for most people.  It's
preference you're talking about here, not structure.

Why do you do a SETLL followed by a READE, why don't you do a CHAIN?

Key        SETLL    Filename
Key        READE    Filename
 
            DOW   not %EOF(Filename)
 
        (do some code here)
Key        READE    Filename
            Enddo
 
 Change it to this...  More structurally correct as well.

Has anyone here had problems associating a filename with the %EOF bif?
I've
been experiencing intermittent problems which seem to be occuring only
in
service programs.  When I pull the code out to a separate program to try
to
isolate it, it works fine (naturally).  Here's what I'm seeing:
 
Key        SETLL    Filename
 
            DOU    %EOF(Filename)
Key        READE    Filename
 
             If          %EOF(Filename)
                Leave
            Endif
 
            If            %EOF
                Leave
            Endif
 
        (do some code here)
            Enddo
 
When executing this code against an empty file, the first LEAVE does not
execute, but the second one does.  When I put a numeric indicator on the
READE, it comes on normally.  This is the entire code in a procedure in
a
service program (second LEAVE was added in testing) and, as I say, when
pulled out into a test program it works fine.  Does anyone know how the
filename gets associated with the %EOF and what might disrupt that
association?  There is no code between the READE and the first IF.  I'm
on
V4R3.
