RE: Chain doesn't set %EOF

["Christen, Duane J." <dchristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul;

Here is the ANI Masters team at McLeodUSA. 

It is considered bad coding practice here because a Chain implies a single
record fetch, where a SetLl/ReadE combination implies the start of a looping
condition. Saving one little SetLl line of code, to me, is not worth losing
the implied logic. 

I know that this is probably more of a "coding style" preference than
anything else, but no one has been able to give me a reasonable argument for
using Chain in this case, and the developers on my team don't really care
either way.

Duane,

Where is here and why is that considered bad coding practice?
