Not sure why the example is no correct. The infds *status tells you
everything you need about you io operation.
Status code of 0 = %found(), %equal or not %eof
Status code of 11 = %eof
Status code of 12 = not %found() or not %equal
Status code of 1218 = record already locked.

RPG built in BIF is not restricted to only allow returns boolean. It
code be created to return %status if needed.

Lim Hock-Chai's examples are not correct.
1) using *STATUS will miss other errorsand does not mean EOF or (NOT)
FOUND.
2) having a BIF %reade would return a boolean value (*ON or *OFF) and
should be tested as such or with '1'or '0', nut with a number.

With regards,
