RE: EOFDLY Problems

Rich,

You were right, I found a way out of the loop that was allowing the program
to end.

Thanks

Jon

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.
