RE: How to properly use %EOF() bif?

Charles,

I did notice the %found(), but I'm concerned that the %eof() right below 
it, may not be set correctly after a chain...

The archives are full of discussions about this.

Anyway, is there any advantage if you use Igor's method instead of the 
simpler method I use?

Thanks,

Peter,

Igor's way will work fine since he's got the if %found().  Without the 
%found(), it would be a problem.

The simpler method is to use setll/reade

setll mykey filename;
dow not %eof(filename);
  process();
  reade mykey filename;
enddo;

You can't replace setll above with chain.
