Thanks.

| JT,

|
| One alternative that is already available is to use %status() and
| check for a
| zero (or non-zero) condition.  Then it works regardless of
| whether you used
| CHAIN or a READxx variant.
|
| Using Joe's example, it looks like:
|
|       Chain
|       Dow     %status( file )  = *Zero
|       (process)
|       Reade
|       Enddo
|
| Of course, %status() can be non-zero for reasons other than just
| a record not
| found condition.  A record lock is a common example.
|
| It depends on what you are trying to do...
|
