Yes.  I read the documentation and at that time I thought, and still
think, that is a wrong statement because one of the main purpose of
setll is to set the cursor to the record that has the equal to or the
next closest key value.  

That statement seems to say that if there is no record that has the same
key value in the file, setll will set the cursor to the end of the file
position, which I think is a wrong statement.

Yes, I think it is at least recommended - I would not have used the %eof
to test what is done here. But this from the documentation is
interesting and answers both the original question and this one:

"If the SETLL operation is not successful (no records found condition),
the file is positioned to the end of the file."
