 I don’t have a problem quoting his message.


You're kidding?  You aren't quoting at all, you're repeating between
delimiters.  Not at all the same thing.

| Subject: Detecting End-of-File using READLINE command
| 
| When using the READLINE command to read sequential records
| e.g.
| 
|     bytes=READLINE(handle,destination,length)
| 
| When a line consists of just a newline character, the number of
| bytes read and returned in "bytes" may be zero. However, there
| could be many records that follow this line.
| 
| How can I detect the EOF, End-of-File?  Is a negative number
| of bytes returned?
| 
| None of the Documentation I have, STN Manual, Online FilePro
| help, etc,  answers these questions.
