If you are reading to EOF and then doing a READP(E), %status should be
getting set to 0 before the READP and then back to 11 because of the
READP.  If you read to EOF, you have to reposition the cursor before you
can READ or READP again.

You don't get a status of 11 when you have successfully read the last
record - you get it when you have tried to read _past_ the last record.
