RE: Standards question: What is your feeling about %found&%eofvs. %found(file) & %eof(file) ?

Lim,

How could an unqualified bif possibly be clearer? My on-line, abridged Webster's dictionary defines clear as "free from confusion or ambiguity; not obscure; easily understood." Qualifying the bif could not possibly cloud the meaning.

Uuumm. I guess this is depending on the eye of beholder. I think
without qualify is clearer.

Yes Lim you can code it like this

setll somekey myfile;
read myfile;
DoW Not %eof();
setll somekey2 myfile2;
read myfile2;
DoW Not %Eof();
Read Myfile2;
enddo;
read myfile;
enddo;

I like to code for the next programmer, i believe it is a little clear
for the next guy to see the file names in the bifs.
