I know hundreds of clients using a particular package that makes use of
EOFDLY with no problems, since System 38 days.

I would double check my code to make sure that it can't seton LR from
inside the main processing loop.

Actually, I would also add a SHTDN check to the processing loop so that
it *could* terminate nicely in the event the job is ended via ENDJOB or
ENDSBS.

The code could also terminate without error if you are trapping the
error via *PSSR (or monitor).

Also, you might consider coding it in such a way so that if the program
drops out of the read loop, wait 30 seconds via DLYJOB, then send it
back in to the loop.  Have it keep a log or send a message to you
whenever it happens.  Perhaps you can pin down the cause that way.
