Yes that's what I finally discovered.  However, there are some instances
where you may need to visit every record. i.e., if you need to check to see
if another program has change the corresponding database record.

I can't speak for everybody, but I typically use SFLNXTCHG to force the
program to re-read the record when it has an error.  I suppose you could
force all records to "changed" but then why bother with a READC loop?  Why
not do a CHAIN loop instead, since you plan on visiting all the subfile
records each pass anyway?  Hiding the intent (visiting all records) is not
in the best interest of the maintenance programmers (me!)  :-)
