RE: [WDSCI-L] Error in WDSC conversion to /FREE?

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry,

Didn't realize you were using *IN35 for both error & EOF.

If you used two different indicators, what WDSC is doing makes sense.  If just 
the single one, the code generated may not work right.  

With the generated code, you could have an error and not know it unless you 
also happen to be at eof.  Since the value of %eof() will replace the value of 
%error().

Cleanest way would be simply this:

*IN35 = ( %error() or %eof() )

HTH,
