My two cents, I always use %found(file) & %eof(file). To me it makes the
program more readable.

I always use %found(file).
File is not necesary when used inmediatly after the chain, but it can
eventualy get moved, and we do have some very clumsy programmers
here. Most
of the time the found or eof is inmedialy after the read, but
sometimes it gets moved far, like when you do a chain, set some fields,
and, depending on found you write or update.

We have been having a discussion about the pros & cons of these two
choices.

It would be interesting to read the thoughts of the stars and
almost-stars on this topic?
