Re: CHAIN vs SETLL/READE

Your pseudo code raises what may be a dumb question: Is the If Found test
following the setll needed? I was under the impression (maybe lucky) that
if the setll failed, the reade would still return eof.

The IF test there is not strictly needed, in the sense that the
program will work correctly without it; but I believe Mark's intention
there was to avoid the READE if we already know the READE will come up
empty. (This thread is talking about performance, after all.)
