Re: Standards question: What is your feeling about %found & %eof vs. %found(file) & %eof(file) ?

[Michael_Schutte@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I always use the qualified so that there's no confusion, if it's not
needed.

But I can see a problem occurring if the following...

setll somekey myfile;
dow not %EoF();
  read myfile;
  if %eof();
     Leave;
  endif;
  setll somekey2 myfile2;
  dow not %eof();
    read myfile2;
    if %eof();
       leave;
    endif;
  enddo;
enddo;

The read of myfile2 will shortcurcuit the read of myfile.
