Maybe I've just overlooked it in the RMS manual, but is there a way of testing for EOF other than trying to read the next record? In this case, I'm reading a normal VMS text file (record type Variable, with implied carriage returns) using the RMS $GET function. And I do know the file length. Is there a way to get current file position to test against the length? Or a way to find out if I'm at EOF directly? I could do another $get and test for EOF but if I'm not at EOF then I have to somehow unget that record so a later i/o will read it and this sounds like something I don't want to do. But IS there a better way? Thanks for any replies, -- Gail Walker
