Come on, guys it only becomes toast if you modify it AND don't test it!

Noone answered the second part, are there several levels of EOF? Ie one for each file and one for the last file read?

And if someone adds an exsr after the read, and there is file
i/o in that subroutine, you're toast...

<snip>
This will work today, but as someone pointed out, as soon
as someone
adds another I/O, the routine becomes toast.

I prefer to use my own indicator. This will produce a considerably
more stable application. See the semi-pseudo code:

DoU noMoreRecords ;
Select ;
When cond1 ;
Read file1 ;
noMoreRecords = %EOF(file1) ;
when cond2 ;</snip>

not true. if the new I/O is just adding a new file in a WHEN
condition it will still work as designed without a problem.


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Will the test on EOF work correctly ? Will it be on if
either of the
3
files is at condition %EOF ? Do I need to check EOF for each file?

Does an indicator EOF exist for all 3 files plus another that
indicates
any of the files?

Thanks!

Select
when cond1;
read file1;

when cond1;
read file2;

etc
other;
read file3;

EndSl;

IF %EOF;
etc
