to the one poster:
It's a read loop - not a primary file.  A read loop will not set on lr.
To the OP:
Why not use this as another reason to scrap indicators and do something 
like
*inlr=*on;
read(e) myfile;
if not %eof(myFile);
  Dow not %eof(myFile);
    read(e) myFile;
    if not %eof(myfile);
      // your processing here;
    endIf;
  EndDo;
EndIf;
but I hate priming reads so I might even do
*inlr=*on;
dow ReadFile(Myfile);
  // your processing here;
EndDo;
and the read would be in the subprocedure ReadFile.  And if part of "// 
your processing" includes an iter you will not have an infinite loop.
