RE: Force EOF in a Subfile

press send too quickly:  Basically do the following:

write subfileCtl
readc subfile
dow     not %eof
...
readc subfile
enddo

I think you can do a dummy write on the subfile control to reset the stage of 
readc to the top of the subfile.

How do I do force an EOF in a subfile w/o altering the state of any
records in the subfile?
(Sorry, my searches in the archives didn't turn anything up.)
 
Essentially, I'm validating a subfile by reading through as ReadC.
DoU %EOF;
  ReadC Subfile;
  If not %EOF;
     If errAction();
       dspatr = @RU;   // reverse image, underline
       PosCsr = *On;
     EndIf;
     SflNxtChg = *On
     Update Subfile;
  EndIf;
EndDo;
 
Ok, but based on that processing, I want the top record displayed to
have a field Positioned-To (assuming there were no errors found).
I'm omitting a lot of code here obviously, but there is code that
determines if the 1st record needs to be updated again.  If it needs to
be, I do a:
 
Chain 1 Subfile;
If %found;
  PosCsr = *On;
  Update Subfile;
EndIf;
 
Now, in order to process this subfile if no errors were found, I need to
loop with a ReadC again.  Except, by doing the chain, I lost my EOF on
the subfile.
I could do a:
Chain LastRec Subfile;
ReadC Subfile;
 
But that loses the SflNxtChg that is on the last record (if the last
record was changed).  Short of adding a hidden field in the subfile that
lets me know if it was changed or not, is there any way to force an EOF
on a subfile so my next ReadC loop will start at the beginning of the
subfile?
