Juan, in V5R1, a change was made so that a successful SETLL sets
%EOF(file) to off.  (It doesn't affect %EOF with no parameter).  Same
for SETGT and CHAIN.

Others have already made good suggestions for other ways to code this,
but to get around the problem in V4R4, you can code this way, since the
file status will be something like 00010 and 00011 for not-found and
eof.

c      setll  file
c      dow    %status(file) = 0
c      reade  file
c      whatever
c      enddo

Same thing works for a CHAIN/READE loop:

c      chain  file
c      dow    %status(file) = 0
c      whatever
c      reade  file
c      enddo
