Yes, but why would that be more of a gotcha on %eof() than
%eof(filename)? They are wrong in either case.

Says who?

There's nothing wrong with either chunk of code. Do you think it's wrong simply because CHAIN is
followed by %eof() instead of %found()?

Yes, a real chunk of code that looked like:
Reade (myKey) myFile
Chain (myKey) myFile
If %eof()
Endif

Would probably be an error on the coder's part. If it makes you happier, consider this:

Reade (myKey) myFile
//lots of code snipped
Chain (myKey) myFile
If not %found(myfile)
//do something
endif
//lots of code snipped
If %eof(myFile)
//do something
Endif



Now if you change %eof(myFile) to %eof(), you are changing the behavior of the code when you probably
don't intend to.

That's all I'm saying.
