SETGT and end-of-file - documentation incorrect?

The ILE RPG Reference says this in the section on SETGT - RPG/400 reference says the same thing =

If the SETGT operation is not successful (no-record-found condition), the file is positioned to the end of the file.

I've a situation where I'm using SETGT with relative record numbers. If I have an RRN = last RRN (or greater than that last one), %found() is *ON, %eof() is *OFF.

So this seems to say that the docs are incorrect. Any verification or refutation, please?

The statement I'm using is in free format, as here -

setgt(e) 18 file-name;

Thanks
Vern
