I agree with that, but if I wanted to check for a time-out on a
READ/WAIT situation, I could just check %STATUS regardless of whether or
not I used  READ(E). That's what I'm hearing you tell me. And that's
good news.
I don't know how many emails I get with people that don't use a %ERROR
nest with nessted %STATUS and their %ERROR is always ZERO even when an
error occurs... Because they forgot to code the un-intuitive (E)
extender. So I can now just teach them to check for %STATUS values
instead of (E) combined with %ERROR...

Thanks

Bob
